Can I rent a Car if I only have an International Driving Permit?
We are afraid that you will not be able to pick your car rental at Auckland Downtown if you have your IDP but not your driver's license. This is so because International tourists can’t drive in NZ if they don’t have a full and valid driver's license, hence, no doubt an IDP is an important document, but it will not be enough.

Can I add an additional driver to my Auckland CBD car rental booking at a later date?
Yes, you can. However, note that there might be additional charges and will only be allowed by the car rental agency if the additional driver meets all the qualifying requirements.
