Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Papawai?

Can I drive in Papawai 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 home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, 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 you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting 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.
