How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waikana?
You need to be at least 21 to pick up the keys to a rental car in Waikana. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Additionally, many companies will charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Waikana?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waikana?
In Waikana, like the rest of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Go slower to build confidence driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.

Where can I find a Waikana car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Waikana supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news!
