How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waikaura?
Waikaura rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Waikaura?
Be prepared to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waikaura?
In Waikaura, like all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Waikaura car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Waikaura outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Waikaura?
Get your road trip off to a good start by choosing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency assistance. Don't wait until you reach the rental counter to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Waikaura ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Waikaura with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
