How old do you have to be to rent a car in Carterton?
In Carterton, the requirement is generally 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location.

Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Carterton?
If you're renting a vehicle in Carterton or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, remember that you'll be driving on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow to begin with.

Yes, and you can find your perfect set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we'll list awesome options from various reliable companies.
Where can I find a Carterton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Carterton often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred rental company to avoid any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
