How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whiritoa?

While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Whiritoa?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whiritoa?
Unlike the United States, people in Whiritoa drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car and its quirks before driving away.

Where can I find a Whiritoa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Whiritoa providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
