Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Taupaki car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we offer a full refund on most reservations if you advise us a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. Don't forget to double-check your rental agreement — there are some cases where it's not included. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Taupaki?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the top pick for many rental customers in Taupaki. Offering great gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to exploring the city. A compact has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can travel around in a little extra comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taupaki?
Rental car rules in Taupaki require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental companies impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Taupaki?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Taupaki?
If you're renting a car in Taupaki, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take note that the driver's seat will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider choosing a car with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.

Where can I find a Taupaki car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Taupaki companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
