What happens if I need to cancel my Rotorua car reservation?

It's a good idea to go through the rental agreement though because there are some exemptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Rotorua with Expedia?
Score the best deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from major providers. Save even more when you bundle your Rotorua car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rotorua?
You'll need to be at least 21 to sit in the driver's seat of a rental car in Rotorua. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Rotorua?
The essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check with your rental provider to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Rotorua?
In Rotorua, you'll need to drive on the left. Be aware that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a ride with automatic transmission to make things a bit easier.
What is the cheapest car rental in Rotorua?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the cheapest daily rate was $63. The next best price for rental vehicles in Rotorua was $68 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rotorua?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your vacation. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Rotorua car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies located in Rotorua. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Rotorua?
Get your road trip off to a good start by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency support. Don't wait until you get to the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Rotorua ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Rotorua with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
