Any rental company you choose will require two things --- your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also 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 Purau?
If you're renting a vehicle in Purau, you'll need to stick to the left. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission to make things easier.

Where can I find a Purau car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that operate in Purau. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
