How old do you have to be to rent a car in Pukaki?
Pukaki requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Pukaki?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Pukaki?
In Pukaki, prepare to drive on the left. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be mindful and concentrate while out on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Pukaki?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Pukaki car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Pukaki rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's useful to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
