Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Potaka car reservation?
No need to worry. You should receive a total refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so you may want to check your car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Potaka?
Keep it simple with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the number one choice in Potaka. They're a joy to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're exploring cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that's still affordable.
Where can I go on a road trip from Potaka?
Potaka is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Book a set of wheels and take to the road to explore the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

  • Make your way to Rotorua for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Around 177 kilometres from Potaka, it has tons of amazing attractions such as Skyline Rotorua.
  • Approximately 177 kilometres away, Tauranga is also a hit with wanderers. Set aside time to experience Mount Maunganui while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this colourful city.
  • Venture into the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Mt. Eden. You'll find it roughly 306 kilometres from Potaka.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Potaka with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your favourite ride and compare prices from top providers. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Potaka car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Potaka?
In Potaka, the rule is generally 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Potaka?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Potaka?
If you're renting a car in Potaka or planning a road trip around New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Potaka?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a set of wheels that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Potaka car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies operating in Potaka. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
