Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Gisborne Airport (GIS)?
Avis is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Reserve your set of wheels as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Makorori car reservation?
We get that flexibility on the road is important. That's why many prepaid bookings give a complete refund if you cancel six hours in advance of picking up the car. It's a good idea to check the agreement though as there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Makorori?
Affordability, ease of parking and great mileage are just a few reasons compact vehicles are the top pick in Makorori. Their small size makes them ideal for getting around the city. They're a great fit for solo travellers, couples or road-trippers on a budget. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with an economy or mini, or give yourself more room with an intermediate or a full-size. Need a little luxury? Check out our premium rides.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Makorori?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Makorori. Be aware that most rental suppliers will charge an extra fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are usually restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Carefully read the terms and conditions before you book so there are no hassles when you collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Makorori?
While rules can differ between outlets, the two key things you'll need are a current driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Makorori?
In Makorori, all cars drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be mindful and concentrate when you're at the steering wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Makorori?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Makorori car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Makorori rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra costs. It's better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
