What types of cars can I rent in Whakapapa?
Affordably priced, easy to handle and fuel-efficient, it's no wonder compact vehicles are the most popular rental in Whakapapa. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Whakapapa?
With your own set of wheels, cruising around the surrounding regions is as easy as putting your foot on the accelerator. Whakapapa is a great place to start, but there's lots more to experience in the region. Grab the keys to a rental, throw your luggage in the trunk and check out these other popular locations:

  • You'll feel the lively spirit of bustling city life the minute you pull into Napier. Some 75 mi from Whakapapa, it's home to a number of exciting spots to visit, like National Aquarium of New Zealand.
  • Tauranga, around 110 mi away, will also show you a memorable time. Curious what there is to see? Mount Maunganui is our first pick.
  • Escape city life at Mt. Eden. Approximately 170 mi from Whakapapa, it's a terrific place to get back to nature.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whakapapa?
In Whakapapa, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require comprehensive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Whakapapa?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whakapapa?
In Whakapapa, prepare to drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be aware and focus while you're behind the wheel.
What is the cheapest car rental in Whakapapa?
The lowest car rental price in Whakapapa within the past seven days was just $59 per day. The next best deal on offer was $62. 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 Whakapapa?
Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip details and we'll show you incredible offers from a range of reputable companies.
Where can I find a Whakapapa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Whakapapa often depends on the rental provider you select. Some places apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet other companies may not have any extra costs for this age range. It'd be good to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to escape any surprise charges on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whakapapa?
Start your road trip right by purchasing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for collision damage, vandalism and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency support. Don't wait until you reach the rental desk to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Whakapapa ride with Expedia and save money and time.
