How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tauranga?
Tauranga rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Tauranga?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tauranga?
In Tauranga, like all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take things slow to build up confidence driving on the left if you’ve never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Tauranga?
Whether you plan to stick around Tauranga or explore beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Tauranga car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Tauranga holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge extra costs. It’s ideal to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
