How much is a rental car per day in Whareama?

What happens if I need to cancel my Whareama car reservation?
Don't stress. You should get a full refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours prior to pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the rental policy.

  • Head off to Napier for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 110 miles from Whareama, it's home to numerous inspiring sights such as Napier Beach.

  • Get out into the outdoors and take in the serenity at Waitomo Glowworm Caves. You'll find it about 190 miles from Whareama.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Whareama with Expedia?
Pick up the best deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred car type, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the leading suppliers. Save even more when you combine your Whareama car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whareama?
Whareama requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Whareama?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Whareama, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whareama?
In Whareama and across New Zealand, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This in itself can be daunting, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. To stay safe, take things slow to begin with and leave yourself extra time to get from A to B.
What is the cheapest car rental in Whareama?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've jumped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $31 per day. The second lowest daily price in Whareama was $37. 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 Whareama?
Yes, and the awesome news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Whareama and drive off with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a Whareama car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that operate in Whareama. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whareama?
For a stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides 24-hour emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Whareama vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Whareama with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
