Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kaiata car reservation?

Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many visitors to Kaiata.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kaiata?
Rental car rules in Kaiata require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Kaiata?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kaiata?
In Kaiata, prepare to drive on the left. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so minimize distractions and pay extra attention when you're behind the wheel.

Where can I find a Kaiata car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Kaiata often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to avoid extra charges on pickup.
