You can rent from Remarkable Car Rental with a full, valid and open New Zealand drivers licence only (the green licence). You can not have been given a disqualification or suspension in New Zealand, as we will be unable to rent you a vehicle.
If your drivers license is not issued from NZ, you must meet the below requirements:
you have a current, full and valid overseas licence and an International Driving Permit
if your overseas licence is not English, you must have an accurate translation
you will need the above documents if you came into New Zealand less than 12 months ago
If you don’t meet all of these requirements, you must apply for a New Zealand driver licence to drive in New Zealand.
The law requires us to sight your licence when you collect your rental car. No photocopies or scanned licenses will be accepted.
Restricted license’s from either NZ or abroad can not be accepted.
Remarkable Car Rental will accept a Digital Drivers Licence (DDL). However, if you are visiting from a country/state that operate under a DDL, we require your physical licence while traveling in New Zealand. A driver may be asked to produce a physical licence by the New Zealand Police to prove the DDL is valid.
