Where can I find an Arthurs Pass car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Arthurs Pass companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
