What do you need to rent a car in Waikuku?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements often differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Waikuku?
In Waikuku, like the rest of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.

$97 and $100 were the two lowest daily prices picked up by rental car customers in Waikuku within the past seven days. 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 Waikuku?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Waikuku car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Waikuku often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age group. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to avoid extra charges at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Waikuku?
It's a good idea to add collision protection while booking your Waikuku rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency assistance, you can take the wheel knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected happens. It's easy to opt in to this plan during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Waikuku with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
