What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Thorpe?

Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Thorpe ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Thorpe with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
