To drive a Budget vehicle in New Zealand, you must hold a current, full and valid driver licence appropriate for the vehicle you are hiring. A learner, provisional or restricted driver licence is not accepted.
Pink-issued New Zealand driver licences, which are subject to special conditions as the result of a suspension or disqualification, are also not an accepted licence to rent with.
If your driver licence is not in English please see Do I need an international driving permit? below.
