How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hanmer Springs?
You have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules to keep in mind before you book your Hanmer Springs wheels. If you're a young driver, many rental outlets will charge an extra daily fee and limit the sorts of cars you're able to rent. The precise surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between companies. It's a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Hanmer Springs?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hanmer Springs?
If you're renting a car in Hanmer Springs or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hanmer Springs?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then book a ride that suits. Whether you're stopping in Hanmer Springs or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Hanmer Springs car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Hanmer Springs rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
