Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Auckland Intl. Airport (AKL)?
You can, and there's lots of choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, head on over to 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 fantastic companies like Budget, Avis and Europcar. If you'd like more options, check out the deals from Thrifty and Hertz.
What happens if I need to cancel my Paerata car reservation?
No need to worry. You should get all of your money back if you let us know at least six hours prior to pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to check your rental policy.

Mini, intermediate, full-size, premium ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Paerata. If you're searching for something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this rental car category is the perfect choice. Driving around bustling streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer a little more room compared to economy models and are suited to couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Paerata?
You have to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related rules to be aware of before you lock in your wheels in Paerata. If you're a young driver, many rental providers will charge an additional fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between suppliers. It's always a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Paerata?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Paerata?
In Paerata, like all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Paerata?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and find a ride that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Paerata car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Paerata outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
