Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Gisborne Airport (GIS)?
Make a speedy getaway from Gisborne Airport (GIS) and rent a set of wheels from Avis. This rental car outlet is a short commute from the terminal.
What happens if I need to cancel my Te Karaka car reservation?
Good news! You should receive a full refund if you advise us at least six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time.
