How old do you have to be to rent a car in Karori?
You have to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules to bear in mind before locking in your Karori wheels. If you're a young driver, many rental providers will charge an extra fee and limit the sorts of cars you're able to rent. The precise surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Karori?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Karori?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Karori drive on the left-hand side. Having the steering wheel and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving off.

Whether you're planning to stop in Karori or explore what's beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Karori car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Karori often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not apply any extra costs for this age range. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car rental dealer to escape extra costs when picking up your keys.
