What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Houghton Bay?
Make a safe start to your road trip by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you should have.

Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Houghton Bay ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Houghton Bay with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
