How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matakohe?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should be aware of before reserving your wheels in Matakohe.

This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between providers. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Matakohe?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matakohe?
Unlike the United States, people in Matakohe drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the car and its quirks before driving away.
