Where can I go on a road trip from MacDonald Downs?
MacDonald Downs has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

  • Make your way to Christchurch for an excellent sightseeing experience. Approximately 40 miles from MacDonald Downs, it's home to many amazing sights like Lyttelton Harbour.
  • Around 75 miles away, Ashburton is also popular with travelers. Set aside time to check out Ashburton Domain while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this buzzing city.
  • Visit Mount Victoria Lookout to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From MacDonald Downs, it's roughly 170 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in MacDonald Downs with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare fees, offers and providers, and to check reviews. Bundle your MacDonald Downs car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in MacDonald Downs?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in MacDonald Downs. Be mindful that rental providers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren't permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Take note of the fine print before booking to avoid any hassles at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in MacDonald Downs?
The main things are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in MacDonald Downs?
Unlike the U.S, people in MacDonald Downs drive on the left-hand side. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the car before driving off.
What is the cheapest car rental in MacDonald Downs?
The two cheapest daily rates recorded in MacDonald Downs within the past seven days were $97 and $104. Now that's what we'd call an awesome deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in MacDonald Downs?
Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we'll show you excellent offers from various leading providers.
Where can I find a MacDonald Downs car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in MacDonald Downs often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not have any extra fees for this age range. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape extra charges when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in MacDonald Downs?
After perfectly planning your escape, don't scrimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your MacDonald Downs rental car with Expedia. There are numerous advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage. Plus, with no deductible and round-the-clock emergency support, you'll be able to breathe a little easier should a mishap occur.
Can I drive in MacDonald Downs with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification 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 to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to 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 your rental car.
