How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waimarama?
At least 21. But there are a handful of age-related restrictions to be aware of before you reserve your Waimarama wheels. If you're a younger motorist, many rental outlets will charge an additional fee and limit the types of cars you're able to rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Be sure to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Waimarama?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental suppliers, so it's wise to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waimarama?
In Waimarama, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if you haven't driven on the left before.

Where can I find a Waimarama car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking to rent a car in Waimarama, it'd be wise to check the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
