Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Waitakere car reservation?
We have good news! You should get all of your money back if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of the collection time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan your rental agreement.

Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Waitakere. If you'd like something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is the perfect choice. Driving around busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars are slightly more spacious compared to economy models and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waitakere?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and above can rent a car in Waitakere. While some companies may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before booking. Providers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Waitakere?
Renting a car in Waitakere is a cinch. Generally, all that's required is your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. After settling on a great set of wheels, check your policy to ensure there are no extra requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waitakere?
Unlike the U.S, motorists in Waitakere drive on the left. Having the driver's seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the vehicle and its quirks before hitting the road.

Yes, and you'll find your perfect ride among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip information and we'll list terrific options from various reputable suppliers.
Where can I find a Waitakere car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that are found in Waitakere. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
