Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Wellington Intl. Airport (WLG)?
Yes, and you won't be short on choice. After you've disembarked and grabbed your bags, make a beeline for the rental car centre on Level 0 next to domestic baggage claims. Here you can choose from fantastic companies like EZI, Enterprise and Budget. If you'd like more options, also check out Thrifty and Europcar.
What happens if I need to cancel my Paekakariki car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to collecting the car, most prepaid reservations qualify for a complete refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental policy. Look over your confirmation for the specifics or click through to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Paekakariki?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many visitors to Paekakariki. With great gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're ideal for dashing around the city. A compact car has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can get around in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Paekakariki?
Generally, the requirement is 21 years and over in Paekakariki. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge a young renter fee. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Paekakariki?
While requirements can differ between car rental outlets in Paekakariki, the two 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 Paekakariki?
If you're renting a vehicle in Paekakariki or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left. Also, the steering wheel will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra caution.

Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're staying put in Paekakariki or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Paekakariki car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Paekakariki rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra costs. It's useful to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
