Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Auckland Intl. Airport (AKL)?
Yes, you can. Once your plane hits the tarmac at Auckland Intl. Airport (AKL), you'll find the rental car centre located next to arrivals on the ground floor of the International Terminal, and on the ground floor of the parking lot in the Domestic Terminal. Arrange a ride with Budget, Avis or Europcar. Thrifty and Hertz are also worth having a look at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Port Waikato car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through your rental agreement.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Port Waikato?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions to keep in mind before booking your wheels in Port Waikato. If you're a younger driver, most rental outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you can rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take a few moments to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Port Waikato?
Generally, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so remember to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Port Waikato?
In Port Waikato, you'll need to drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. To stay safe, take things slow at first and leave yourself extra time to get from A to B.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Port Waikato?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and find a set of wheels to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Port Waikato car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Port Waikato rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
