What do you need to rent a car in Waikanae?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Waikanae, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waikanae?
