How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waiheke Island?
You need to be 21 and over to grab the keys to a rental vehicle in Waiheke Island. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Most companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Waiheke Island?
While requirements may differ between rental car outlets, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waiheke Island?
In Waiheke Island and across New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This alone can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself extra time to get to your destination.

Where can I find a Waiheke Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Waiheke Island often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Waiheke Island?
Add collision protection while reserving your Waiheke Island rental car with Expedia. This protects your ride against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency help, you can get into the driver's seat knowing you're covered for most mishaps. You can opt in to this plan during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Waiheke Island with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 on ferries or off road with your rental car.
