What do you need to rent a car in Te Anau Downs?
Before you can take the wheel in Te Anau Downs, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you choose not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Te Anau Downs?
If you're renting a car in Te Anau Downs or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel 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 at the start.

Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
