How old do you have to be to rent a car in Te Anau Downs?
Te Anau Downs requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Te Anau Downs?
Before you can take the wheel in Te Anau Downs, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you choose not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Te Anau Downs?
If you're renting a car in Te Anau Downs or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
What is the cheapest car rental in Te Anau Downs?
With rates starting as low as $84 and $85 per day in Te Anau Downs within the past seven days, you'll be cruising off with your own amazing deal in no time.

Where can I find a Te Anau Downs car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Te Anau Downs companies will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Te Anau Downs?
For a smooth, stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides 24/7 emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Te Anau Downs vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Te Anau Downs with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation 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 must be at least 25 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: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
