What types of cars can I rent in Awatuna?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no sweat for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Awatuna. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small cars pack a punch. But Awatuna can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Awatuna?
Awatuna has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Book a set of wheels and take to the road to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

  • You'll discover The Square and many more intriguing attractions in Palmerston North. From Awatuna, it's 177 kilometres away.
  • About 105 kilometres away, Whanganui is also a favourite with wanderers. Allow time to take in Whanganui Museum while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this colourful city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Awatuna?
In Awatuna, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print carefully before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Awatuna?
Two things — a valid driver's licence 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 alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Awatuna?
If you're renting a car in Awatuna or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, prepare to drive on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may take a while to get the hang of, so drive with extra caution.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Awatuna?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip information and we'll show you fantastic options from various trustworthy suppliers.
Where can I find an Awatuna car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Awatuna rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's better to know this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
