Be aware that rental providers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are generally restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Kensington?
Two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Kensington car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Kensington often depends on the rental company you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. It'd be wise to read the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to escape any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kensington?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise idea for your upcoming Kensington escape. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Kensington with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware 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 identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
