Some places apply a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not have any extra costs for this age group. Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your selected car company to avoid any nasty surprises at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Riwaka?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart idea for your upcoming Riwaka getaway. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Riwaka with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, 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, 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 additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
