How old do you have to be to rent a car in Okiwi Bay?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Okiwi Bay is 21. A young driver surcharge typically applies, so check before you book and budget for any additional costs.

Requirements may vary between outlets, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Okiwi Bay?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed.

What side of the road do you drive on in Okiwi Bay?
