How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tangowahine?
Tangowahine requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Tangowahine?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Tangowahine, 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 plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tangowahine?
In Tangowahine, as with all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. Take things slow and get comfortable driving on the left if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Tangowahine car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Found a Tangowahine supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
