Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Goodwood car reservation?
We understand that flexibility on the road is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings offer a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. You may want to read the cancellation policy though as there are some exceptions. If the information isn't there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Goodwood?
Dash around in a nifty mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the number one choice in Goodwood. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're driving around big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a bit more room and comfort while still getting a terrific deal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Goodwood?
Goodwood has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. These are some great options:

  • Ashburton is around 193 kilometres from Goodwood. Renowned tourist attractions like Ashburton Domain should be high on your list here.
  • Situated 177 kilometres away, Queenstown is also a favourite with travellers. Be sure to experience Skyline Queenstown while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.
  • Lyttelton Harbour is about 274 kilometres from Goodwood and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Goodwood with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare costs, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Goodwood car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Goodwood?
Goodwood requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Goodwood?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Goodwood?
In Goodwood, like all of New Zealand, you drive on the left. Slow down and get comfortable driving on the opposite side if it's your first time.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Goodwood?
Yes, and you can find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip information and we'll list awesome offers from numerous leading suppliers.
Where can I find a Goodwood car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Goodwood rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's best to know about this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
