What do you need to rent a car in Whanganui Airport?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whanganui Airport?
If you're renting a vehicle in Whanganui Airport or planning a road trip around New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left.
