How old do you have to be to rent a car in New Plymouth?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules you should keep in mind before booking your wheels in New Plymouth.

Take a few moments to compare the requirements.

What side of the road do you drive on in New Plymouth?
In New Plymouth, prepare to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so minimize distractions and pay extra attention behind the wheel.

Where can I find a New Plymouth car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a New Plymouth outlet that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in New Plymouth?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a great idea for your New Plymouth getaway. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in New Plymouth 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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
