What happens if I need to cancel my Kairakau car reservation?

What types of cars can I rent in Kairakau?
Affordably priced, a dream to handle and good on mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most in-demand rental in Kairakau. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

  • Make tracks to Napier for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Approximately 48 kilometres from Kairakau, it has many great attractions such as Napier Beach.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kairakau?
Drivers aged 21 and over can road trip around Kairakau in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies.

Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any surcharges or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Kairakau?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Requirements can differ from rental company to rental company, so read your policy thoroughly.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kairakau?
In Kairakau, like all of New Zealand, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Go slower to build confidence driving on the left if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Kairakau car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Found a Kairakau outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
