How old do you have to be to rent a car in Aranui?
Aranui requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Aranui?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Aranui?
If you hop behind the wheel in Aranui, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side. Be aware that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Aranui?
Whether you have plans to stay in Aranui or discover what's beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find an Aranui car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Aranui companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
