Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Ilam car reservation?
Good news! You should receive a total refund if you let us know at least six hours ahead of pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings qualify for a refund though, so you may want to check your car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Ilam?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Ilam. Affordable and with superb mileage, they're a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a large amount of space. They're especially suited to city driving. Squeezing into tight parking spots will be a snap!
Where can I go on a road trip from Ilam?
There are so many things to do in Ilam, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can meander around the greater area at your leisure. Add these fantastic destinations to your travel schedule:

  • Head to Ashburton for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 80 kilometres from Ilam, it has loads of great sights like Ashburton Domain.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Mount Cook, which is around 193 kilometres away. Mount Cook National Park is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • St. Clair Beach is approximately 306 kilometres from Ilam and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Ilam with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ilam?
Generally, you need to be 21 years and over in Ilam. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge extra fees for young renters. Check before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Ilam?
Before you can hit the road in Ilam, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ilam?
In Ilam, you'll need to drive on the left side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the driver's seat and some controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safer ride, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to get from A to B.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ilam?
You can. We partner with reputable suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every inch of Ilam — or way beyond!
Where can I find an Ilam car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Ilam rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra costs. It's good to know about this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
