The BAC in New Zealand may also vary based on age, driving experience, and whether or not you are driving a commercial vehicle. If you are younger than 18, which is the legal drinking age in New Zealand, then you may face strict penalties if you are caught drink-driving. Keep in mind that it is never a good idea to drink-drive no matter how old you are.

If you’re looking to hire a car on a budget, consider a country with lower fuel prices such as Kuwait which has an average price of €0.30 per litre.

We recommend reading through the policy of your chosen hire company before booking.
What documentation or ID do you need to hire a car in New Zealand?
To hire a car in New Zealand, all drivers must have a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of hire, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines.
