How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matiri?
Matiri rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Matiri?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matiri?
If you're renting a vehicle in Matiri or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Matiri?
Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Matiri and drive off with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Matiri car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies operating in Matiri. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
