How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whitianga?
Home vehicle rules in Whitianga require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many home companies impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars available to young people too. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Whitianga?
Most home companies will require two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whitianga?
If you’re renting a car in Whitianga, you’ll have to stick to the left. Be aware 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 it’s your first time driving on the left.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Whitianga?
Expedia makes it a breeze to pick up a quality long-term holiday home in Whitianga. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Whitianga car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Whitianga, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any nasty surprises at the home desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
