Question 10

Where can I find an Avonhead car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look up the age policy of the Avonhead rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.

For a secure, stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism.

Question 12

Can I drive in Avonhead with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

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 place of residence 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 be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You'll 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
