How old do you have to be to rent a car in Te Awa?

What do you need to rent a car in Te Awa?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Te Awa?
Cars drive on the left in Te Awa. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. Allow for some extra time to get the hang of your ride before driving off.

Where can I find a Te Awa car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Te Awa rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
