How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hanmer Springs?

What do you need to rent a car in Hanmer Springs?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a Hanmer Springs car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Hanmer Springs rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Hanmer Springs?
Make a safe start to your road trip by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Hanmer Springs ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Hanmer Springs with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire 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 have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
