Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Chatham Island car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why most rentals provide a full refund if cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. You may want to read the rental policy though because there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Chatham Island?
Dash around in a nifty mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the number one choice in Chatham Island. They're a snap to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're exploring busy cities.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chatham Island?
You'll need to be 21 and over to sit in the driver's seat of a rental vehicle in Chatham Island. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Chatham Island?
While booking conditions can differ between rental car outlets in Chatham Island, the essentials are a current driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chatham Island?
If you're renting a car in Chatham Island or road-tripping around New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chatham Island?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and book a ride that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Chatham Island car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Chatham Island. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
