Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Ruatahuna car reservation?
There are always times when plans suddenly change. That's why we provide a full refund on many reservations if you cancel a minimum of six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. Don't forget to double-check your cancellation policy — sometimes it's not included. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Ruatahuna?
Affordably priced, a cinch to handle and delivering great mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most sought-after rental type in Ruatahuna. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Ruatahuna?
Ruatahuna has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some ideas:

  • You'll find Napier Beach and lots more interesting sights in Napier. From Ruatahuna, it's approximately 97 kilometres away.
  • Situated 80 kilometres away, Rotorua is also a favourite with wanderers. Allow time to take in Skyline Rotorua while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this vibrant city.
  • Mt. Eden is 274 kilometres from Ruatahuna and is one of the region's most spectacular nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ruatahuna?
In Ruatahuna, the requirement is 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Don't forget to read the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Ruatahuna?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ruatahuna?
Unlike the United States, people in Ruatahuna drive on the left-hand side. Having the driver's seat and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car before embarking on your journey.

Where can I find a Ruatahuna car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Ruatahuna companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
