Rules may vary between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.

The essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.

Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to avoid any surprise charges when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wakefield?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a good choice for your upcoming Wakefield adventure. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is 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 Wakefield 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 home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware 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 ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental 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 over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
