Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Tawera car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours prior to the arranged pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to go over your car's rental agreement.

What side of the road do you drive on in Tawera?
In Tawera, like the rest of New Zealand, you drive on the left-hand side. Slow down and get comfortable driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.
