How old do you have to be to rent a car in Maketu?
Maketu rules state drivers must be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual home rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Maketu?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between home providers, so it’s always wise to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Maketu?
In Maketu and across New Zealand, you’ll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you’re used to. For a safer ride, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself extra time to reach your destination.

Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then reserve a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying in Maketu or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term home at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Maketu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Maketu companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
