Yes, a US citizen can easily rent and drive a car in New Zealand, provided they meet standard rental agency requirements. You must present a valid, unexpired US driver's license that has been held for at least one or two consecutive years depending on the rental company. If your US license is written in English, an International Driving Permit is usually not strictly required, though carrying one can be helpful. You will also need a valid credit card in the primary driver's name for security deposits and a passport for identity verification.
