When you visit New Zealand, you want to see every bit of landscape and culture at your fingertips.

When you want to see a late night show or early morning sunrise off the beaten path, your car makes that possible too.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my New Zealand car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before collecting the car, many prepaid rentals qualify for a total refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to understand the policy. Read through your booking for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
How do I find the best car rental deals in New Zealand with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and rental companies, and to check reviews. Combine your New Zealand car rental with flight or hotel bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in New Zealand?
In New Zealand, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in New Zealand?
Renting a car in New Zealand is a cinch. Generally, all that's required is a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Once you've found your favourite set of wheels, check your policy to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in New Zealand?
Expedia makes it a cinch to book a long-term rental in New Zealand. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a New Zealand car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the New Zealand rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
