They're a cinch to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're road-tripping around bustling cities.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Makareao?
At least 21. But there are a few age-related rules you should keep in mind before you lock in your Makareao wheels. If you're a young motorist, most rental outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent.

What do you need to rent a car in Makareao?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets in Makareao, the essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Makareao?
If you're renting a car in Makareao or road-tripping around New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.

Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip details and we'll show you amazing offers from a range of trusted providers.
Where can I find a Makareao car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Makareao companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
