Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Sunshine Bay car reservation?
No need to worry. You should get a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours prior to collecting the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals qualify for a refund though, so you may want to read through the car rental policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Sunshine Bay?
Cost-effective, a cinch to handle and great on mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most popular rental type in Sunshine Bay. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city adventures or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sunshine Bay?
Sunshine Bay rules state drivers must be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and tighter rental conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Sunshine Bay?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Sunshine Bay, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Sunshine Bay?
If you're renting a car in Sunshine Bay or planning a road trip in greater New Zealand, be prepared to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're used 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 Sunshine Bay?
Whether you're planning to stop in Sunshine Bay or travel beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Sunshine Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Sunshine Bay often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age group. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to escape excessive charges on pickup.
