How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matamata?

What do you need to rent a car in Matamata?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? Then there’s a good chance you’ll also need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ from home company to home company, so read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matamata?
If you’re renting a car in Matamata or planning a road trip around New Zealand, get ready to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.

Where can I find a Matamata car rental if I am younger than 25?
