Before you can get behind the wheel in Waikawa Beach, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
