How old do you have to be to rent a car in Napier?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules to be aware of before locking in your wheels in Napier. If you're a young driver, most rental companies will charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Napier?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Napier?
You'll be driving on the left in Napier. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Set aside a bit of extra time to get the hang of your rental car before driving off.

Where can I find a Napier car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Napier. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
