Where can I find a Queenstown car rental if I am younger than 25?

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Queenstown?
Start your road trip right by selecting Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support.

Can I drive in Queenstown with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, 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 documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note 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, 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: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
