Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Auckland Intl. Airport (AKL)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, head for the rental car centre next to arrivals on the ground floor of the International Terminal, and on the ground floor of the parking lot in the Domestic Terminal. Here you can select from reliable companies like Budget, Avis and Europcar. If you're after more options, see what's available with Thrifty and Hertz.
What happens if I need to cancel my Mercer car reservation?
Read over the policy to be sure, but the majority of prepaid reservations are eligible for a full refund if you notify us more than six hours before picking up the car. There are some exceptions though. Your confirmation will have more info, or just jump onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Mercer?
Economical, a dream to handle and delivering excellent mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most in-demand rental type in Mercer. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around 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!

How do I find the best car rental deals in Mercer with Expedia?
It's easy to pick up an incredible deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the trusted rental suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Mercer car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mercer?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in Mercer is 21. A surcharge for young drivers typically applies, so check before you book and budget for any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Mercer?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Mercer?
Unlike the United States, people in Mercer drive on the left side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the car before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Mercer?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're stopping in Mercer or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a Mercer car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Managed to find a Mercer supplier that does rent to under 25s? That's great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
