How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taipa?
Taipa requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Taipa?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Taipa?
If you're renting a vehicle in Taipa or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Taipa?
Whether you plan to stay in Taipa or journey beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Taipa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Taipa companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
