With Drive Nz., you can choose from a variety of insurance options to tailor your car hire experience. Select the coverage that best fits your needs, ensuring you have the protection required for peace of mind while driving.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Before making a rental, check if your personal auto insurance covers rental vehicles. Many policies and credit cards provide this protection, helping you save on extra insurance fees.

Before booking, read the rental agreement carefully for any hidden charges, such as airport fees, extra driver costs, or late return penalties. Awareness is key to budgeting.

Select a car known for fuel efficiency to save costs during your rental period. This choice can significantly lower your overall travel expenses.
