CCM Car Insurance (available for NZ only)
CCM offers a car insurance for Third Party Only
Preamble
Even if car insurance is not compulsary in New Zealand, we strongly recommend to take a policy. If you were to have an accident, even minor, and, as a result you damage a vehicle of high value, the financial consequences would be heavy.
It is advised that you take out a car insurance before your journey, as it may be complicated and confusing on arrival. New Zealand companies can often charge a high excess (at least $1,000) and unaffordable rates (eg $500 for just the legal liability). In some circumstances, you may be refused cover, especially if a younger driver. It is important to also be aware that New Zealand companies will require you to take a policy out for a full twelve months.
Covers
- If you accidentally damage someone else's car or property, we will pay costs and damages, (up to $1,000,000) occured by you and any other named person, driving the Vehicle.

$500 per event, approximately 250 euros, over the age of 25

Who can apply ?
Anybody entitled to lawfully drive in New Zealand whatever the nationality.
International drivers
If you are visiting from another country or have recently arrived in New Zealand, and you have a current and valid driver licence or international driving permit (IDP), you can drive for a maximum of 12 months from the date you arrive in New Zealand. (Each time you visit New Zealand, you may drive for a further 12-month period on a valid overseas driver licence or IDP, as long as you stay for no more than a year at a time.) If you are driving using an IDP you must also carry your overseas licence with you.
Note: if your licence or IDP isn't in English, you must carry an accurate English translation issued by:
- a translation service approved by the NZTA (phone the NZTA's driver licensing contact centre on 0800 822 422 for a list of approved translation services), or
- a diplomatic representative at a high commission, embassy or consulate, or
- the authority that issued your licence.
Note: if your driver licence is not in English, an IDP in English may be acceptable as a translation.
If you don't have a current and valid overseas driver licence or IDP then you cannot drive in New Zealand. If you want to drive then you must apply for a New Zealand driver licence.
