What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Johnston?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a fantastic idea for your Johnston getaway. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia.

If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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.
