What do you need to rent a car in Lake Tekapo?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
Can I drive in Lake Tekapo with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can. But it’s not hard to organize an International Driving Permit, so it’s worth getting one. This permit lets you drive in most countries, so you’ll have peace of mind while you’re cruising around Lake Tekapo.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lake Tekapo?
You can. Expedia partners with quality providers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every inch of Lake Tekapo — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Lake Tekapo car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that operate in Lake Tekapo. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
