What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Waikawa Beach?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise choice for your Waikawa Beach escape. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require 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.
Can I drive in Waikawa Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may 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 rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
