For foreign renters, you need to bring:

Original driving licence + NZTA Translation

The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), a professional organization, certifies driver's license translations specifically intended for self-driving rental vehicles within the New Zealand. Free online NZTA for Japanese driver's license holders: https://www.qeeq.com/nzta-topic

Original driving licence + International Driving Permit (IDP)

Cross Border

To be updated

Cross Islands

Conditional:

Towards any New Zealand islands, taking rental cars crossing islands is allowed with certain conditions.

Ferry crossings are allowed. Cross-border travel must be declared to the branch 3+ days in advance; unauthorized travel breaches the contract and incurs penalties. Travel to restricted NZ areas (e.g., Ball Hutt Rd, Skippers Rd, Ninety Mile Beach, Te Paki Stream Bed, Macetown Rd, coast road to Russell, or unformed/gravel roads) voids cover and increases liability.

Ferry Transportation: Allowed

Alamo allows you to bring the rental vehicle on the ferry. However ferry companies may charge you to bring a vehicle across Cook Strait.

Reviewed: Saturday, June 6, 2026
Like: I loved the car. In good condition, low mileage and drove really well. The service from the guys was really good too. Very friendly and went out of their way to help me when I needed anything.
Dislike: The instructions on the approved email may be a bit hazy on pick up procedures. I didn't realize that I can call upon arrival in the country for a pick up. Minor issue as it was located only 20 min walk!
