How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waimangu?
Waimangu rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Waimangu?
In most cases, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between suppliers, so it's a good idea to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waimangu?
People in Waimangu drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Spend a bit of extra time getting familiar with the differences before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Waimangu?
Expedia makes it easy to book a long-term rental in Waimangu. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Waimangu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Waimangu outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
