Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hunter?
In Hunter, you'll always be driving on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be aware and pay extra attention while you're out on the road.

Where can I find a Hunter car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Hunter providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
