How old do you have to be to rent a car in Portage?
You need to be at least 21 to take the wheel of a home vehicle in Portage. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Many providers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Portage?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets in Portage, the two key things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out the company’s insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Portage?
In Portage, like all of New Zealand, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Slow down and get comfortable driving on the opposite side if it’s your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Portage?
Yes, which means you won’t need to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and secure a set of wheels that’s all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Portage car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies that are found in Portage. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your holiday home.
