10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Mangawhai Heads

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for extra room, a convertible to enjoy in the summer, or an economy car to save money, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to secure your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to lock in lower rates and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles typically come at a lower rental cost and are easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size options strike a good balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the best option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at the airport often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience might make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. Adding car rental insurance while booking through Expedia is a simple process.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car.

Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:
