What do you need to rent a car in Kaikoura?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I drive in Kaikoura with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your U.S. License will be enough for you to drive legally in Kaikoura. But if you’re the kind of traveler who prefers to be on the safe side, get an International Driving Permit. Apply for it before you leave home.

Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose your perfect ride. Whether you’re basing yourself in Kaikoura or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find a Kaikoura car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Kaikoura outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just keep in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
