Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Hokitika Airport (HKK)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Kumara car reservation?
No need to worry. You should be eligible for a complete refund if you notify us more than six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations qualify for a refund though, so you may want to go over the car's cancellation policy.
