How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whataroa?

Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whataroa?
After carefuly planning your escape, don't skimp on your insurance — add collision protection while reserving your Whataroa rental vehicle with Expedia. There are loads of advantages to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24/7 emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier if you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Whataroa with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order 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 have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle 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 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 getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
