10-seater Minibus Driving on a Class 1 Licence

A full, unrestricted car licence in New Zealand allows you to drive a 10-seater minibus rental for private occasions. You do not need to apply for a special licence to get behind the wheel and be confident driving nine passengers.

A New Zealand car licence (1) allows you to drive a vehicle with a gross laden weight (GLW) of 6,000kg or less.

Rest assured, our Toyota Hiace or similar minivan hires weigh less than the maximum limit.

Note that if you would like to drive a 10-seater minivan for services such as shuttles, taxis or any other paid services, you will need to own a Passenger (P) Endorsement in addition to a full licence.

10-seater Minibus Driving on an International Licence

If you have a full international driver's licence, you can drive a 10-seater vehicle in New Zealand up to 6,000kg in gross laden weight. Your overseas licence is the equivalent of a New Zealand class 1 licence and you do not need an international driving permit.

You must carry your international licence and NZTA approved English translation if your licence is not in English, at all times. If you plan to stay in New Zealand beyond 12 months, you must transfer to a New Zealand licence.
