What do you need to rent a car in Nelson?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I drive in Nelson with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your valid U.S. License is enough for you to drive legally in Nelson. But if you’re the kind of tourist who likes to cover all your bases, get yourself an International Driving Permit. You’ll need to apply for it before you leave home.

Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
