Where can I go on a road trip from Makahu?
Makahu is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Organize a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the wider region. These are some great options:

  • Napier is roughly 120 miles from Makahu. Well-known attractions like Napier Beach deserve to be at the top of your list here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Makahu with Expedia?
Whatever sort of ride you're looking for, Expedia will help you nab the best deal. Compare the offers from quality rental providers and pick the option that's right for you. Love to drive away with even bigger savings? Combine your Makahu car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Makahu?
Generally, you need to be 21 years and over in Makahu. It's worth noting that most companies will charge a young renter fee. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Makahu?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Makahu?
In Makahu, like all of New Zealand, you drive on the left-hand side. Go slower to build confidence driving on the opposite side if you've never done it before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Makahu?
With rates beginning at just and per day in Makahu within the past seven days, you'll be speeding off with your own amazing deal in next to no time. 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 Makahu?
Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip information and we'll list amazing offers from numerous reputable providers.
Where can I find a Makahu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Found a Makahu supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Makahu?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise idea for your upcoming Makahu adventure. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in Makahu with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 fine print before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
