What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Otapiri?
A thorough insurance plan is a great choice for your upcoming Otapiri trip. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Otapiri with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
