While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets, generally the essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.

People in Matahina Forest drive on the left, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some time familiarising yourself with your new ride before getting on the road.

Where can I find a Matahina Forest car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Matahina Forest rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It's good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
