How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nelson?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a car in Nelson. Bear in mind that home companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are often restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Browse the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Nelson?
Renting a car in Nelson is easy as pie. Normally, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After choosing your wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no extra requirements before pickup.

Where can I find a Nelson car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between home companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Found a Nelson supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Nelson with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
