Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Timaru car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That’s why the majority of prepaid reservations give a full refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours before the scheduled collection time. It’s a good idea to read your policy though because there are some exceptions. If the information isn’t there, click on our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in Timaru?
Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
Can I drive in Timaru with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, provided your license is current. But think about getting an International Driving Permit regardless. They’re quite simple to arrange, and with one, you’ll be able to drive in other places if your travel plans take you beyond Timaru.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Timaru?
Yes, and the wonderful news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Timaru and score an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Timaru car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Timaru rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some will charge extra costs. It’s best to know this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
