If you want something reasonably priced and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is the ideal choice. Driving around traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wharekopae?
You need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Wharekopae. Take note that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a young renter fee. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Wharekopae?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wharekopae?
In Wharekopae, like the rest of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. Go slower to build confidence driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wharekopae?
Whether you're planning to hang around Wharekopae or explore what's beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Wharekopae car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Wharekopae rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra costs. It's useful to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
