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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Waikana?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then secure a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Waikana or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
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! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
