But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wakanui?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Wakanui. Be aware that rental providers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent larger or luxury models of cars. Read through the fine print before you book to avoid any problems at the rental counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Wakanui?
Your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ from rental company to rental company, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wakanui?
In Wakanui and across New Zealand, motorists drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. For a safer ride, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself extra time to get to your next stop.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wakanui?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then secure a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Wakanui or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Wakanui car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Wakanui rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's good to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
