Can I drive in Ashburton Lakes with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, 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 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 other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
