Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waimatua?
