How old do you have to be to rent a car in Pegasus?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and over can rent a car in Pegasus. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before booking your wheels. Companies also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Pegasus?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Pegasus?
If you're renting a car in Pegasus or road-tripping around New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Pegasus?

Where can I find a Pegasus car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Pegasus often depends on the rental company you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any extra fees for this age group. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to avoid unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
