What happens if I need to cancel my Tawanui car reservation?
Don't stress. You should get all of your money back if you cancel at least six hours prior to the collection time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through your policy.

If you're looking for something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this category of rental car is an excellent choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact vehicles offer a little more room compared to economy models and are well-suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tawanui?
In Tawanui, the requirement is 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location.

What do you need to rent a car in Tawanui?
The essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental agency to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tawanui?
In Tawanui, you'll need to drive on the left side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slower and leave yourself extra time to get to your next stop.

You can, and the awesome news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Tawanui and cruise off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Tawanui car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Tawanui companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
