How old do you have to be to rent a car in Matau?
You have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should be aware of before you book your Matau wheels. If you're a young motorist, most rental outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the types of vehicles you're able to rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take your time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Matau?
Renting a car in Matau is a cinch. Generally, all that's required is your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. After you've found a great set of wheels, look up the terms and conditions to make sure there are no extra requirements prior to the pickup date.
What side of the road do you drive on in Matau?
If you're renting a vehicle in Matau, you'll have to drive on the left. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission to make things a bit easier.

Where can I find a Matau car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Matau rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
