How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oamaru?
You'll need to be 21 and over to take the wheel of a rental car in Oamaru. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Look up the rules before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Oamaru?
Generally, all that's required is a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between rental providers, so it's wise to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Oamaru?
If you're renting a car in Oamaru or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.
What is the cheapest car rental in Oamaru?
With prices starting from as low as and per day in Oamaru within the past seven days, you'll be speeding off with your own incredible deal before long. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find an Oamaru car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Oamaru rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge additional costs. It's handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Oamaru?
After carefuly planning your vacation, don't skimp on your insurance — purchase collision protection while reserving your Oamaru rental vehicle with Expedia. There are tons of advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and round-the-clock emergency assistance, you'll be able to breathe a little easier should you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Oamaru with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess 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 allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need 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 added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries 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 what kinds 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 off road with a rental vehicle.
