Inexpensive, a cinch to handle and with excellent mileage, it’s not surprising compact vehicles are the most in-demand home type in Rakino Island. Tour this city in one of these and you’ll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

• Around 193 kilometres away, Rotorua is another city worthy of a place on your itinerary. Be sure to check out Skyline Rotorua while you’re in town.

Rental car rules in Rakino Island require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Most home providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before you book.

Before you can hit the road in Rakino Island, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you decline to take out the home company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a home company.

In Rakino Island, like the rest of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. Go slower to build confidence driving on the left if it’s your first time.

You’ll need to check the age policy of the Rakino Island holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some will charge extra costs. It’s good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
