Question 12

Can I drive near Nelson (NSN) with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to get 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 won't be valid on its own. You'll need 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 matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most 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 the types of cars you can rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
