Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Waipiata?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waipiata?
If you're renting a car in Waipiata or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.

Where can I find a Waipiata car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Waipiata, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprises on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Waipiata?
For a safe, stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also offers customers 24/7 emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Waipiata vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Waipiata 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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, 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 you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
