How old do you have to be to rent a car in Awatere?
You'll need to be at least 21 to sit in the driver's seat of a rental vehicle in Awatere. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge a young renter fee. Look up the rules before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Awatere?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ from rental company to rental company, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Awatere?
Motorists in Awatere drive on the left, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Spend a bit of extra time familiarizing yourself with your new ride before getting on the road.
What is the cheapest car rental in Awatere?

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Awatere?

Where can I find an Awatere car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do some research. Found an Awatere supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Awatere?
For a stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision damage protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against vandalism, accident damage and theft. It also offers customers 24-hour emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Awatere vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Awatere with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have 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 matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
