Also, young motorists often aren’t permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Take note of the fine print before you book to avoid any problems at the home counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Kawaihae?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. 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 may differ from home company to home company, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find a Kawaihae car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Kawaihae outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Kawaihae with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
