It'd be wise to read the terms and conditions of your preferred rental dealer to escape extra costs at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Patearoa?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a good choice for your Patearoa adventure. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while organizing 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 price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Patearoa with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need 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 matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
