Frequently asked questions

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

What types of cars can I rent in Kakahu?
Affordable, a dream to handle and with excellent mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most booked rental in Kakahu. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kakahu?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and over can rent a car in Kakahu. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, contracts will come with additional fees.

Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Kakahu?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kakahu?
Motorists in Kakahu drive on the left-hand side, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Take some extra time getting familiar with your car before taking off.

Yes. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Kakahu — or beyond!
Where can I find a Kakahu car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Kakahu. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
