What happens if I need to cancel my Akaroa car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility while traveling is important. That’s why the majority of reservations give a total refund if canceled a minimum of six hours before picking up the car.

What do you need to rent a car in Akaroa?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I drive in Akaroa with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, but if you want to play it safe, arrange an International Driving Permit to carry alongside your license. The permit contains your name, photo and driver’s details and is helpful as an additional form of identification.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Akaroa?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Akaroa and drive off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find an Akaroa car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Akaroa rental suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra fees. It’s best to know about this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it’s smart to do your research.
