Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Maia car reservation?
We all have times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we provide a full refund on most bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. Don't forget to double-check the rental agreement — there are some cases where it's not included. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Maia?
Affordably priced, a dream to handle and good on mileage, it's no surprise that compact cars are the most sought-after rental type in Maia. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

Maia is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Book a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • You'll discover Bill Richardson Transport World and many other amazing sights in Invercargill. From Maia, it's around 177 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Maia with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Maia?
Drivers aged 21 and above can get on the road in Maia in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also be required to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Maia?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the essentials are a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Maia?
In Maia and across New Zealand, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safe journey, take things slower and allow extra time to get from A to B.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Maia?
Yes, and the good news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Maia and drive away with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Maia car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Maia, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various car 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 aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
