How old do you have to be to rent a car in Papatoetoe?

Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Papatoetoe?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental supplier whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Papatoetoe?
If you're renting a vehicle in Papatoetoe or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.
