What do you need to rent a car in Taupo?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I drive in Taupo with my U.S. Driver's license?
You certainly can. If you have a current U.S. License, you’re allowed to drive in Taupo. You’re unlikely to need an International Driving Permit. However, they are relatively simple to obtain, so it’d be a good idea to get one anyway.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Taupo?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your perfect wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we’ll show you incredible offers from a range of reliable providers.
Where can I find a Taupo car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a rental in Taupo, you’ll need to check the policies of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
