How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matakatia?

While rules may differ between rental car outlets in Matakatia, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matakatia?
If you're renting a car in Matakatia or road-tripping around New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left side of the road. 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 unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.

Where can I find a Matakatia car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Matakatia rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's better to know this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
