What do you need to rent a car in Te Anau?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Te Anau?
For a stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against vandalism, accident damage and theft.

Can I drive in Te Anau with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, 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, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
