What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Queenstown?
After carefuly planning your road trip, don't skimp on your insurance — add collision protection while booking your Queenstown car rental with Expedia. There are tons of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism.

Can I drive in Queenstown with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able 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 license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
