How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matawhero?
Drivers with a valid licence aged 21 and above can rent a car in Matawhero. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee.

Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Matawhero?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matawhero?
Unlike the United States, people in Matawhero drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before embarking on your journey.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Matawhero?
Expedia makes it easy to find a cheap long-term rental in Matawhero. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Matawhero car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies located in Matawhero. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
