Can I drive in Christchurch with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car hire company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
