How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tasman?
Rental car rules in Tasman require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply.

Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Tasman?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car.
