How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ōpoutama?
Drivers aged 21 and over can get on the road in Ōpoutama in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge applies. You'll generally have fewer car categories to pick from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance.

What do you need to rent a car in Ōpoutama?
Before you can hit the road in Ōpoutama, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ōpoutama?
If you're renting a car in Ōpoutama or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ōpoutama?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Ōpoutama car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are found in Ōpoutama. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
