Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kakatahi car reservation?
No need to stress. You should receive all of your money back if you notify us a minimum of six hours prior to picking up the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Kakatahi?
Affordability, ease of parking and terrific mileage are just a few reasons compact cars are the top choice in Kakatahi. Their small size makes them ideal for city driving. They're a good match for solo adventurers, couples and families on a budget. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with an economy or mini, or get more legroom with an intermediate or a full-size. Need a little luxury? Browse our premium options.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Kakatahi with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Kakatahi car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kakatahi?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a car in Kakatahi. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before booking your ride. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Kakatahi?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kakatahi?
If you hop behind the wheel in Kakatahi, you'll need to stick to the left. Be aware that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission to make things a little easier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kakatahi?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Kakatahi car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Found a Kakatahi supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
