What do you need to rent a car in Whanganui?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whanganui?

Where can I find a Whanganui car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Whanganui rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It's best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
