What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Waitahora?
For a stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision damage protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against vandalism, accident damage and theft. It also provides round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Waitahora vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Waitahora with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence 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, it's important that the credit card 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'll 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
