Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Upper Hutt?
Generally, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check in advance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Upper Hutt?
