Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Wairaki car reservation?
Good news! You should be eligible for a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so you may want to read through your policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Wairaki?
Affordably priced, a cinch to handle and with excellent mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most booked rental type in Wairaki. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

There are so many things to do in Wairaki, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Book a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these fantastic destinations to your list:

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wairaki?
In Wairaki, the rule is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's a good idea to check the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Wairaki?
Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wairaki?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Wairaki drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car and its quirks before starting your journey.

Where can I find a Wairaki car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Wairaki often depends on the rental provider you select.

Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid any surprise charges at the rental desk.
