While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Merrilands?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental providers, so be sure to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Merrilands?
Unlike the U.S, people in Merrilands drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarizing yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before driving away.

Where can I find a Merrilands car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are in Merrilands. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
