Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Taupo Airport (TUO)?
Budget is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental outlet. Reserve your ride as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Taharua car reservation?
We all have times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide your money back on many bookings if you let us know a minimum of six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. Don't forget to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some instances where it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Taharua?
Inexpensive, easy to operate and delivering great mileage, it's hardly surprising compact cars are the most in-demand rental type in Taharua. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is perfect for city getaways or quick road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

What side of the road do you drive on in Taharua?
Cars drive on the left in Taharua. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Leave a bit of extra time to familiarise yourself with the differences before driving off.
