How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taraunui?
Rental vehicle rules in Taraunui require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply.

What do you need to rent a car in Taraunui?

In Taraunui, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be mindful and concentrate when you're at the steering wheel.
