Where can I find an Elgin car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Elgin, we recommend reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Elgin?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a good choice for your Elgin escape. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Elgin with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
