What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Mount Cook?
A thorough insurance policy is a smart idea for your Mount Cook adventure. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Mount Cook with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license 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 driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
