What do you need to rent a car in Tekapo?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets in Tekapo, the basics are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I drive in Tekapo with my U.S. Driver's license?
Certainly, on the condition that your license is current. But think about getting an International Driving Permit regardless. They're fairly easy to organize, and with one, you'll be fine to drive in other places if your vacation plans take you beyond Tekapo.

Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your vacation. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Tekapo car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Tekapo. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
