Nelson rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.

Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between home companies, so read through your policy.

In Nelson, all vehicles drive on the left. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so minimize distractions and concentrate when you’re behind the steering wheel.
