Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kakanui car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide a full refund on most reservations if you advise us a minimum of six hours before the pickup time. Remember to double-check your rental policy — there are some instances where it's not included. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Kakanui?
Inexpensive, easy to operate and delivering excellent mileage, it's no coincidence that compact cars are the most in-demand type of rental in Kakanui. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

Rules may be different between suppliers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Kakanui?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kakanui?
Motorists in Kakanui drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the steering wheel and other controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a bit of extra time getting to know your rental car before hitting the road.
