How old do you have to be to rent a car in Melville Cove?
Melville Cove requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Melville Cove?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Melville Cove?
Unlike the United States, people in Melville Cove drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before starting your journey.

Where can I find a Melville Cove car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Melville Cove often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age group. It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Melville Cove?
A thorough insurance policy is a great choice for your upcoming Melville Cove trip. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Melville Cove with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able 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 have to show your driver's license from your home country 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. Some additional requirements 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
