Question 12

If you don't hold 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.

Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to 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 cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
