How old do you have to be to rent a car in Otakou?
Drivers 21 and above can road trip around Otakou in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Otakou?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between rental companies, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Otakou?
If you're renting a vehicle in Otakou or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
What is the cheapest car rental in Otakou?
and were the lowest daily rates picked up by car rental customers in Otakou within the past seven days. 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 Otakou car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Managed to find an Otakou supplier that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Otakou?
A thorough insurance plan is a fantastic choice for your Otakou adventure. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against 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 own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Otakou with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold 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 to be allowed 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 need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
