What do you need to rent a car in Kingston?
You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kingston?
In Kingston and across New Zealand, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the driver’s seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. To stay safe, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to reach your destination.

Expedia makes it a breeze to pick up a reliable long-term home in Kingston. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find a Kingston car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Kingston home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It’s best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
