What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kelso?

It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency help. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Kelso ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in Kelso 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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
