How do I find the best car rental deals in Motueka with Expedia?
Whatever kind of ride you want, Expedia will help you nab the best deal. Simply compare offers from leading rental suppliers and book the option that suits you. Like to drive away with even more in your wallet? Combine your Motueka car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Motueka?
Motueka rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Motueka?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Motueka?
In Motueka, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side. Note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.
What is the cheapest car rental in Motueka?
The two cheapest daily rates recorded in Motueka within the past seven days were $54 and $56. Now that's what we'd call an awesome deal! 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 Motueka?
You can. Expedia partners with quality suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Motueka — or beyond!
Where can I find a Motueka car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Motueka rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's good to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Motueka?
After meticulously planning your getaway, don't scrimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your Motueka rental car with Expedia. There are tons of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, accident damage and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you'll be able to breathe a little easier if you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Motueka with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
