While rules may differ between car rental outlets, the two things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Taumarunui?
People in Taumarunui drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Take a while getting to know your new car before getting on the road.
