How old do you have to be to rent a car in Karaka?
In most cases, the rules are 21 years and over in Karaka. It’s important to note that most outlets will charge a young driver fee. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you’re planning to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Karaka?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Karaka, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the home company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a home provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Karaka?
In Karaka and across New Zealand, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the driver’s seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slow at first and leave yourself some extra time to get from A to B.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Karaka?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in Karaka, so go on and extend your hard-earned holiday! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and secure your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Karaka car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that are in Karaka. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
