Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Petone?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Petone?
In Petone and across New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to.

Where can I find a Petone car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Petone outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Petone?
We recommend purchasing collision protection while booking your Petone car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency help, you can get behind the wheel knowing you're covered for most mishaps. Simply opt in to this insurance during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Petone 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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older 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: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
