How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tauranga?
In Tauranga, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require comprehensive insurance. Don't forget to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Tauranga?
Generally, all you'll need is a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules may differ between rental suppliers, so it's always wise to check in advance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tauranga?
In Tauranga, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so be careful and pay extra attention behind the wheel.

Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've slid behind the wheel of a rental car for just $39 a day. The second lowest daily price in Tauranga was $42. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Tauranga?

Where can I find a Tauranga car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Tauranga. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tauranga?
You should have collision damage protection to cover your Tauranga rental car against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can easily add this insurance to your vehicle at the time of booking. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers round-the-clock emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible if you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled collection time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Tauranga 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 apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, 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 documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
