How old do you have to be to rent a car in Queenstown?
Drivers 21 and above can hit the highway in Queenstown in a home vehicle. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Queenstown?
Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What is the cheapest car rental in Queenstown?
The lowest car rental price in Queenstown within the past seven days was AU$92 per day. The second best deal to be had was AU$96. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Queenstown?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we’ll show you incredible options from numerous trustworthy companies.
Where can I find a Queenstown car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Queenstown often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It’d be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to escape extra charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Queenstown with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
