How old do you have to be to rent a car in Breaker Bay?
You need to be 21 and over to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in Breaker Bay. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Breaker Bay?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Breaker Bay?
If you're renting a car in Breaker Bay or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Breaker Bay?
Expedia makes it easy to book an affordable long-term rental in Breaker Bay. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Breaker Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Breaker Bay rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge extra fees. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
