For a secure, stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism.

Question 12

Can I drive in Upper Riccarton with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
