Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Nelson?

What happens if I need to cancel my Nelson car reservation?
Scan through your home policy to be sure, but the majority of bookings qualify for a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours prior to pickup. There are some exclusions though. Your itinerary will have more details, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Nelson?
Many visitors choose to rent economy cars in Nelson. Motorists love them because they're easy on the wallet. Plus, their small size makes them well-suited to darting around cities, where streets are busy and parking can be tricky. But your options don't end there. Compacts, mid-size and full-size cars are up for grabs too. Whether you're sticking around Nelson or venturing beyond, we'll have a set of wheels that suits your style.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nelson?
You need to be at least 21 to grab the keys to a home vehicle in Nelson. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Nelson?
Most home companies will need these two things --- your driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Nelson?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a holiday home car mid-holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Nelson car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Nelson holiday home suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge additional costs. It's handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Nelson with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
