How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whareama?
Drivers 21 and over can get on the road in Whareama in a home vehicle. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to purchase comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Whareama?
Renting a car in Whareama is a cinch. Usually, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Once you’ve found your ride, check your policy to ensure there are no further requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whareama?
If you take the wheel in Whareama, you’ll have to drive on the left. Note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you’re familiar with. Consider booking a car with automatic transmission if you haven’t driven on the left before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Whareama?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels that’s all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Whareama car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car under the age of 25 in Whareama often depends on the holiday home supplier you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any extra costs for this age group. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your selected holiday home company to escape excessive charges when picking up your keys.
