Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Sandstone car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when plans change. That's why we give a full refund on most prepaid bookings if you advise us a minimum of six hours prior to the collection time. Don't forget to double-check the cancellation policy — in some cases 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 Sandstone?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the top pick in Sandstone. If you're looking for something reasonably priced and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a smart choice. Driving around busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles offer slightly more room compared to economy models and are well-suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Sandstone?
Sandstone offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to one place. Book a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Dunedin is approximately 145 kilometres from Sandstone. Notable attractions like Larnach Castle deserve to be high on your must-see list here.
  • About 64 kilometres away, Invercargill is also popular with travellers. Allow time to get to Bill Richardson Transport World while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this vibrant city.
  • Spend time in the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Mount Cook National Park. You'll find it around 290 kilometres from Sandstone.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Sandstone with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews and ratings, choose your car class and compare offers from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Sandstone car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive away with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sandstone?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and over can rent a car in Sandstone. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and what it costs, before booking. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Sandstone?
The essentials are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Sandstone?
In Sandstone, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. This obviously differs from driving in the U.S, so minimize distractions and concentrate when you're behind the steering wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Sandstone?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then secure your ideal ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Sandstone or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Sandstone car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Sandstone supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
