How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whakapapa?
In Whakapapa, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require comprehensive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Whakapapa?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whakapapa?
In Whakapapa, prepare to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be aware and focus while you’re behind the wheel.

Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip details and we’ll show you incredible offers from a range of reputable companies.
Where can I find a Whakapapa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Whakapapa often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some places apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet other companies may not have any extra costs for this age range. It’d be good to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen holiday home dealer to escape any surprise charges on pickup.
