What insurance should I choose for my car rental in New Plymouth Airport?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a smart idea for your New Plymouth Airport vacation. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in New Plymouth Airport 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 acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
