Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Heriot car reservation?
You should get a full refund on your prepaid rental if you let us know a minimum of six hours before the pickup time. Look through the car rental agreement for the specifics. Our Customer Service Portal may have what you need too.
What types of cars can I rent in Heriot?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many rental customers in Heriot. Featuring excellent mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to exploring the city. A compact car has more space than an economy vehicle, so you can cruise around in a little more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Heriot?
Heriot offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the surrounding region. Here are a few places to choose from:

  • Head to Dunedin for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Approximately 97 kilometres from Heriot, it has numerous inspiring sights such as Larnach Castle.
  • Around 97 kilometres away, Invercargill is also popular with travellers. Make sure you get to Bill Richardson Transport World while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
  • Venture into nature and take in the serenity at Mount Cook National Park. It's 257 kilometres from Heriot.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Heriot?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Heriot. Take note that most rental suppliers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are usually restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Thoroughly read the fine print before you book to avoid any surprises when it's time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Heriot?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you want 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 Heriot?
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Heriot. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Leave a bit of extra time to get the hang of your new ride before you hit the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Heriot?
Yes, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Heriot and cruise away with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Heriot car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Heriot, we recommend checking the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
