Home to attractions and activities galore, Ashburton is approximately 50 mi from Merivale. First up on the itinerary? Head for Ashburton Domain, one of the city's biggest highlights.

Question 7

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

Accepted Answer

Merivale requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.

Question 8

What do you need to rent a car in Merivale?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Question 9

What side of the road do you drive on in Merivale?

Accepted Answer

You'll be driving on the left in Merivale. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Allow plenty of time to get the hang of your new wheels before setting out.

Question 12

Where can I find a Merivale car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Managed to find a Merivale outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific news! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
