How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hamilton?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should know about before you lock in your wheels in Hamilton. If you're a young driver, most rental suppliers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between outlets. Take the time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Hamilton?
Renting a car in Hamilton is a breeze. Normally, all you'll need is your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Once you've found your ride, check your policy to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hamilton?
If you're renting a vehicle in Hamilton or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, prepare to drive on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
What is the cheapest car rental in Hamilton?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Hamilton was $73. The next best price was $88 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hamilton?

Where can I find a Hamilton car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that operate in Hamilton. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hamilton?
You'll want to have collision protection to safeguard your Hamilton rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, it's easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency support and a zero-dollar deductible if you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a complete refund.
Can I drive in Hamilton with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
