What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Makaraka?
A thorough insurance policy is a smart idea for your upcoming Makaraka trip. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Makaraka 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 apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
