Can I drive in Nelson South with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few 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 may 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 sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
