What do you need to rent a car in Riversdale?
Before you can road trip around Riversdale, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Riversdale?
If you're renting a vehicle in Riversdale or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.

Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you terrific options from various trusted suppliers.
Where can I find a Riversdale car rental if I am younger than 25?

It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to escape any nasty surprises at the rental desk.
