I am 20 years old, and I would really like to rent a car. I've read that you have to be 21 years old to rent a car in New Zealand. Do all companies abide by this? Oddly, there is no minimum age to rent a campervan, so I was wondering if there is some loophole with car rentals as well.

There is a thread on this in the last couple of weeks - most of the samller rental car people e.g. jucy.co.nz will rent to those over 18, with a higher insrance rate. Google on rental cars in NZ "under 21" and you'll find plenty.

Wicked campers will do you a van, but as Myshkin says above, google and yuo will find, my GF was 19 and we had no problem renting a car, if you arrive in Auckland, check out Omega cars- around $23nz a day(much les if you hav it for longer.) no the cheapest bu they did us fine.

ace rental cars hire to anyone over 18 and have the cheapest rates I've seen.
