Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Dunedin Intl. Airport (DUD)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Westwood car reservation?
We know that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings provide a total refund if you notify us six hours in advance of the pickup time. You may want to read over your rental agreement though as there are some exceptions. If the info isn't there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

Cost-effective, zippy and delivering excellent mileage, it's no coincidence that compact cars are the most popular rental in Westwood. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is perfect for city adventures or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Westwood?
Drivers aged 21 and over can get on the road in Westwood in a rental vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Westwood?
Before you can take the wheel in Westwood, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Westwood?
If you're renting a car in Westwood or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, get ready to drive on the left-hand side. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you're used to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.

Whether you have plans to stop in Westwood or explore what's beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you incredible long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Westwood car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Westwood providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
