Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.

Where can I find an East Cape car rental if I am younger than 25?

If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in East Cape?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a great choice for your upcoming East Cape adventure. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in East Cape with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
