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

Rules may be different between providers, so read the fine print carefully.

What side of the road do you drive on in Te Anau?
If you’re renting a car in Te Anau or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.

Where can I find a Te Anau car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Te Anau holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 some will charge additional costs. It’s better to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
