How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dunedin?
Rental car rules in Dunedin require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply.

Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Dunedin?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between rental providers, so it's wise to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Dunedin?
In Dunedin, prepare to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so minimize distractions and concentrate while you're behind the wheel.

Where can I find a Dunedin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Dunedin providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, 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 extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
