Question 7

What do you need to rent a car in Ruby Bay?

The main things are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any problems.

Accepted Answer

This will depend on the car rental companies that are found in Ruby Bay. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.

Question 12

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Ruby Bay?

Accepted Answer

A thorough insurance policy is a smart choice for your Ruby Bay escape. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.

Question 13

Can I drive in Ruby Bay with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license 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. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many 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 fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
