How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waikato?
In Waikato, the requirement is usually 21 years and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. It’s always a good idea to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Waikato?
Renting a car in Waikato is a cinch. Normally, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card. After you’ve found your wheels, read your policy to ensure there are no additional requirements before pickup.
Can I drive in Waikato with my U.S. Driver's license?
Certainly. But also consider organizing an International Driving Permit. With your license and a permit, you’re sure to have all your bases covered for motoring around Waikato.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Waikato?
You can. Expedia partners with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car classes. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Waikato — or beyond!
Where can I find a Waikato car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Waikato rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It’s handy to know about this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
