Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent larger or luxury models of cars. Read through the fine print before you book to avoid any problems at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Wakanui?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ from rental company to rental company, so have a thorough read of your policy.

Where can I find a Wakanui car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Wakanui rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's good to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wakanui?
We recommend adding collision damage protection while booking your Wakanui car rental with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency help, you can get behind the wheel knowing you'll be covered in the event of a mishap. You can opt in to this plan while booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Wakanui with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license 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. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
