What happens if I need to cancel my Makakatana car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why most prepaid bookings give a complete refund if cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to picking up the car. It's still good to read your cancellation policy though as there are some exclusions. If there's nothing specified there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Makakatana?
If you're aged 18 and over, you can rent a car in Makakatana. Take note that rental suppliers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren't permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Check the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any problems at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Makakatana?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Makakatana?
In Makakatana, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to get to your destination.

Yes, and you'll find your perfect ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list awesome options from a range of trusted companies.
Where can I find a Makakatana car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in Makakatana, it'd be wise to check the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
