It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Kingston?
Start your road trip the right way by choosing Expedia's collision protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency help. Don't wait until you reach the rental desk to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Kingston ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Kingston with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification 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 need to be at least 25 in most 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
