How old do you have to be to rent a car in Blenheim?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should be aware of before you reserve your wheels in Blenheim. If you’re a younger motorist, many home providers will charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between outlets. Take the time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Blenheim?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home supplier whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Blenheim?
If you’re renting a vehicle in Blenheim or road-tripping around New Zealand, remember that you’ll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Blenheim?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you’re staying put in Blenheim or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Blenheim car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Blenheim, we suggest reading the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be extra costs if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you do your research.
