Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Livingstone car reservation?
We get that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings give a complete refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours in advance of pickup. You may want to read the cancellation policy though as there are some exceptions. If the information isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Livingstone?
Rental vehicle rules in Livingstone require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental companies impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the sorts of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Livingstone?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Livingstone?
If you're renting a vehicle in Livingstone or planning a road trip around New Zealand, prepare to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so take things slow to begin with.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Livingstone?
Expedia makes it easy to score a long-term car rental in Livingstone. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a Livingstone car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Livingstone rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
