Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your vacation budget.

Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whakamarama?
A thorough insurance policy is a great idea for your upcoming Whakamarama trip. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Whakamarama with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification 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 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. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
