Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Tauranga Bay?
Generally, all that's required is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so it's wise to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tauranga Bay?
If you're renting a car in Tauranga Bay or road-tripping around New Zealand, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
