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

Requirements may vary between companies, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Wairakei?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check 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 Wairakei?
Cars drive on the left in Wairakei. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Leave ample time to familiarise yourself with your new wheels before driving off.

Where can I find a Wairakei car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Wairakei rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25  be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
