How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tawa?

What side of the road do you drive on in Tawa?
If you're renting a vehicle in Tawa or road-tripping around New Zealand, prepare to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.

Where can I find a Tawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Tawa providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tawa?
Add collision damage protection while reserving your Tawa car rental with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation.

It's easy to opt in to this insurance during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Tawa 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 apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID 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 additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places 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: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
