What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Birchwood?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a great choice for your Birchwood getaway. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia.

It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Birchwood with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess 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. Please also consider 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 identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most 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 fine print before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
