Where can I find a South Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies located in South Bay. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in South Bay?
A thorough insurance policy is a good choice for your upcoming South Bay adventure. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require 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.
Can I drive in South Bay with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence 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 have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification 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 over 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
