How old do you have to be to rent a car in Maitai?
Rental car rules in Maitai require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply.

Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Maitai?
Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Maitai?
If you're renting a car in Maitai, you'll have to drive on the left-hand side. Note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.
