Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the cancellation policy.

Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city breaks or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

Take a moment to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Shirley?
Before you can hit the road in Shirley, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Shirley?
In Shirley, like the rest of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Slow down and get comfortable driving on the left if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Shirley?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a set of wheels that's all yours for however long you want.
Where can I find a Shirley car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Shirley. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
