Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Tapanui?
You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental companies, so be sure to check the terms and conditions.

Where can I find a Tapanui car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Tapanui supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tapanui?
Get your road trip off to a good start by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency help. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Tapanui ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Tapanui with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license 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 things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
