Drivers licence requirements for Star RV

Updated over 7 months ago

Star RV accepts drivers 21 years and over who hold:

  • A Full Driver’s licence in English

  • A Restricted NZ Licence or Australian Green P (P2) Licence. We do NOT accept Learner Licences or any probationary Licences, including a Red P Plate or a P1 Licence.

  • We only accept NZ-issued temporary licences. This needs to be accompanied by another form of photo ID.

  • If the licence is not in English, you will need an International Driver’s Permit or a Certified Translation of your Driver’s Licence. This must accompany the original home country driver’s licence.

  • It is a legal requirement in New Zealand that you produce a driver’s licence in English when renting your vehicle. We have teamed up with the crew at Language Links to get this sorted for you, and they can translate your licence at a specially discounted price.
