Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Wairarapa car reservation?
We know that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why most prepaid bookings offer a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. It’s a good idea to go through the agreement though as there are some exceptions. If you can’t see any details there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wairarapa?
Wairarapa requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Wairarapa?
Generally, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d prefer to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between providers, so it’s always a good idea to check in advance.
Can I drive in Wairarapa with my U.S. Driver's license?
The great news is yes. The streets of Wairarapa await and your current U.S. License is all you need to cruise down them. Ahead of your trip, consider applying for an International Driving Permit as another useful form of identification.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wairarapa?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your perfect ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we’ll list amazing offers from various top suppliers.
Where can I find a Wairarapa car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a rental in Wairarapa, we recommend checking the policies of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
