What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tarawera?

Simply opt in to this plan during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Tarawera with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 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 used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
