How old do you have to be to rent a car in Manapouri?
If you’re 21 and over, you can rent a car in Manapouri. Keep in mind that home outlets will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before booking so there are no hassles at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Manapouri?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Manapouri?
In Manapouri, as with all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take things slow and get comfortable driving on the opposite side if it’s your first time.

Yes. Expedia partners with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly homes for a wide range of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Manapouri — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Manapouri car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Manapouri holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra fees. It’s handy to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
