How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palmerston North?
The minimum age to rent a car in Palmerston North is 21. An extra fee for young drivers typically applies, so check before you book and take into account any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of cars available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Palmerston North?
The main requirements are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Palmerston North?
Unlike the United States, people in Palmerston North drive on the left. Having the driver's seat and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the car and its quirks before embarking on your journey.
What is the cheapest car rental in Palmerston North?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$77. The second lowest price to rent a ride in Palmerston North was AU$78 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Palmerston North car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Palmerston North rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
