Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your favorite ride and compare prices from top brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your The Pines car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in The Pines?
The Pines rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in The Pines?
The main requirements are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in The Pines?
Unlike the United States, people in The Pines drive on the left-hand side. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.
What is the cheapest car rental in The Pines?
With car rental rates starting as low as and per day in The Pines within the past seven days, you'll be cruising off with your own incredible deal in next to no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in The Pines?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and book a ride that's all yours for however long you want.
Where can I find a The Pines car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do some research. Managed to find a The Pines outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That's great! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions 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 The Pines?
A thorough insurance plan is a wise choice for your The Pines escape. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in The Pines with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able 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 license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional 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 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 getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
