How do I find the best car rental deals in Tai Tapu with Expedia?
Nabbing an amazing deal on your Tai Tapu rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare prices from top brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll get access to even bigger savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Tai Tapu?
Rental vehicle rules in Tai Tapu require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental companies impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Tai Tapu?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Tai Tapu?
In Tai Tapu, like all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take things slow and get comfortable driving on the left if you've never done it before.
What is the cheapest car rental in Tai Tapu?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that daily rates were as low as $53. The second lowest price to rent a ride in Tai Tapu was $57 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 Tai Tapu?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Tai Tapu, so go ahead and extend that vacation! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Tai Tapu car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Tai Tapu rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's best to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Tai Tapu?
For a stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Tai Tapu vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Tai Tapu with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. 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 documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries 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 you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
