How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wakatu?
The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Wakatu is 21. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles available to young drivers. For instance, some providers will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may differ between outlets, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Wakatu?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wakatu?
Motorists in Wakatu drive on the left-hand side, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some time getting acquainted with your rental car before getting on the road.

You can, and the good news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Wakatu and drive away with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Wakatu car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Wakatu rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
