Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Ruawai car reservation?
We appreciate that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why many rentals offer a complete refund if you let us know six hours prior to the pickup time. It's a good idea to go through the rental policy though as there are some exceptions. If there's nothing specified there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Ruawai?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or level up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication.

They're particularly suited to city exploring. Getting into tight parking spots will be a walk in the park!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ruawai?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a car in Ruawai. Be mindful that most rental companies will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting specialty or luxury vehicles. Browse the fine print before you book so there are no surprises during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Ruawai?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets in Ruawai, the two things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ruawai?
If you're renting a vehicle in Ruawai or planning a road trip around New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ruawai?
Whether you're planning to hang around Ruawai or journey beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Ruawai car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Ruawai rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
