How old do you have to be to rent a car in Totara Valley?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Totara Valley. Keep in mind that most rental companies will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren't permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Carefully read the fine print before you book to avoid any hassles when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Totara Valley?
Most rental companies will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Totara Valley?
If you're renting a car in Totara Valley or planning a road trip around New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.

Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal ride among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip details and we'll show you incredible offers from various trustworthy companies.
Where can I find a Totara Valley car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Totara Valley rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
