Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Oakura car reservation?
Don't stress! If you're able to cancel your rental more than six hours prior to the pickup time, you're likely to qualify for a total refund. It's a good idea to read the rental policy as there are some exemptions. Head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Oakura?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no bother for an economy car — the most sought-after rental type in Oakura. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Oakura can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Oakura?
Oakura has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the surrounding area. These are some great options:

  • Head to Auckland for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Approximately 161 kilometres from Oakura, it's home to loads of great attractions, including Sky Tower.
  • Next stop? Consider Dome Valley, which is around 113 kilometres away. SheepWorld is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.
  • Venture into the outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Waitomo Glowworm Caves. You'll find it around 322 kilometres from Oakura.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oakura?
Rental vehicle rules in Oakura require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Most rental providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Oakura?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Oakura, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Oakura?
In Oakura, like the rest of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take things slow and get comfortable driving on the left if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oakura?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then secure your ideal ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Oakura or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find an Oakura car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Oakura rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
