It's useful to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Jacobs River?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a good choice for your upcoming Jacobs River escape. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Jacobs River with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries 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: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
