How old do you have to be to rent a car in Owaka?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Owaka is 21. A young driver surcharge applies, so check before booking and budget for any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may vary between providers, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Owaka?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Owaka?
You'll be driving on the left-hand side of the road in Owaka. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the opposite side. Set aside plenty of time to get the hang of your rental car before taking off.

Where can I find an Owaka car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Managed to find an Owaka outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
