Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
