Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Ashburton Lakes car reservation?
We get that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why the majority of prepaid reservations offer a full refund if you notify us six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time. You may want to check your cancellation policy though as there are some exclusions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Ashburton Lakes?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the top pick for many rental customers in Ashburton Lakes. Featuring superb gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to cruising around the city. A compact offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a little extra comfort and convenience. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ashburton Lakes?
The minimum age is 21. But there are some age-related requirements you should know about before you book your Ashburton Lakes wheels. If you're a young motorist, many rental outlets will charge an extra daily fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. Take your time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Ashburton Lakes?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ashburton Lakes?
In Ashburton Lakes, you'll be driving on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so be careful and focus while you're behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ashburton Lakes?
Expedia makes it a snap to book a cheap long-term car rental in Ashburton Lakes. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find an Ashburton Lakes car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Ashburton Lakes rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
