Can I drive in Waitata with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
