What do you need to rent a car in Whangamata?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets in Whangamata, the basics are a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whangamata?
People in Whangamata drive on the left, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take some extra time familiarising yourself with your new ride before taking off.

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