$97 Car Rental Gladstone

Gladstone is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Arrange a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the wider area. Here are some ideas:

• Head off to Christchurch for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 100 miles from Gladstone, it has lots of great sights such as Lyttelton Harbour.
• Located 100 miles away, Ashburton is also a hit with wanderers. Set aside time to take in Ashburton Domain while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this city.
• Mount Victoria Lookout is around 210 miles from Gladstone and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries 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 cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you 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.
