What do you need to rent a car in Pongakawa?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up your car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules may differ between providers, so it's a good idea to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Pongakawa?
In Pongakawa, motorists drive on the left. This alone can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow at first and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.

Where can I find a Pongakawa car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are found in Pongakawa. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
