Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Waipara car reservation?
We understand that plans change at the last moment. That's why a large number of bookings allow for a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. Your rental policy should contain all the specifics you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
What types of cars can I rent in Waipara?
Keep things low-cost with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the number one choice in Waipara. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a wise idea if you're road-tripping around cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more comfort and room while still getting a terrific deal.

  • Christchurch is around 56 kilometres from Waipara. Famous attractions like Lyttelton Harbour deserve to be at the top of your list here.
  • Your next stop? Make it Ashburton, which is around 129 kilometres away. Ashburton Domain is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.

It's a good idea to read the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Waipara?

What side of the road do you drive on in Waipara?

Where can I find a Waipara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Waipara often depends on the rental company you choose.

It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape excessive charges at the rental desk.
