How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southburn?
Southburn rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Southburn?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Southburn?
In Southburn, as with all of New Zealand, you drive on the left-hand side. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Southburn car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Southburn often depends on the rental company you select. Some places have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be good to read the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Southburn?
A thorough insurance plan is a smart choice for your upcoming Southburn escape. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Southburn 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 apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Also consider 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 driver's 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 places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
