What do you need to rent a car in Te Anau?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Te Anau?
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Te Anau. This means that the driver's seat and other controls are also on the opposite side. Leave plenty of time to get the hang of your new car before driving off.
