How old do you have to be to rent a car in Motueka Valley?
Motueka Valley requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Motueka Valley?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Motueka Valley?
If you're renting a vehicle in Motueka Valley or road-tripping around New Zealand, get ready to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed 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 Motueka Valley?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Motueka Valley car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Motueka Valley rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
