Compact vehicles are slightly roomier than economy rides and are well-suited to couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Makarau?
With your own wheels, road-tripping around the surrounding regions is a piece of cake. Makarau is a great place to start, but there’s so much more to experience in the region. Pick up the keys to a home, throw your luggage in the trunk and check out these other fantastic locations:

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Makarau?
Home vehicle rules in Makarau require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Home companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Makarau?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between home suppliers, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Makarau?
Unlike the United States, motorists in Makarau drive on the left. Having the driver’s seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car and its quirks before starting your journey.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Makarau?
Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book your perfect ride. Whether you’re staying put in Makarau or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Makarau car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are found in Makarau. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
