How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waihi?
Drivers 21 and over can road trip around Waihi in a rental vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Waihi?
Before you can take the wheel in Waihi, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waihi?
In Waihi and across New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to get to your next stop.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Waihi?
Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip details and we'll show you fantastic options from various quality providers.
Where can I find a Waihi car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Waihi rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
