How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whanganui?
Rental car rules in Whanganui require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental suppliers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost.

What do you need to rent a car in Whanganui?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whanganui?
In Whanganui, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side. Note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a car with automatic transmission for an easier motoring experience.

Where can I find a Whanganui car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Whanganui rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It's best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whanganui?
Start your road trip on the right foot by selecting Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as 24/7 emergency support. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your car. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Whanganui ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Whanganui with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid 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 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, 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: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
