Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Wairakei?
Getting around Wairakei doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, with daily car rental prices starting at $78 within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Taupo Airport (TUO)?
Budget is a quick commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Lock in your ride as soon as you know your travel dates to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Wairakei car reservation?
We know that things happen and plans change at short notice. That’s why many bookings allow for a complete refund if you cancel six hours prior to pickup. Your rental agreement should contain all the details you need. If you can’t see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Wairakei?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the top choice for many rental customers in Wairakei. Offering great mileage and easy handling and parking, they’re perfect for navigating the city. A compact has more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer a bit more legroom? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

Book a rental car, pick up the keys and get ready to discover all Wairakei has to offer. But with so many places to visit in the surrounding areas, don’t let that be the end of the road! Chart your own course to some of the other exciting places in the region:

  • Home to sights and activities galore, Napier is around 75 mi from Wairakei. First stop on the itinerary? Follow the signs to National Aquarium of New Zealand, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • About 75 mi away, Tauranga is another location worth adding to your road trip itinerary. Be sure to check out Mount Maunganui while you’re in town.
