Can I drive in Mataura with my current driver's license?
If you don't have 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 home country to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
