How do I find the best car rental deals in Palmerston North with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your favorite ride and compare offers from leading brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Palmerston North car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palmerston North?
The minimum age to rent a car in Palmerston North is 21. An extra fee for young drivers typically applies, so check before you book and take into account any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of cars available to young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Palmerston North?
The main requirements are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Palmerston North?
Unlike the United States, people in Palmerston North drive on the left. Having the driver's seat and controls like indicators on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car and its quirks before embarking on your journey.
What is the cheapest car rental in Palmerston North?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was $57. The second lowest price to rent a ride in Palmerston North was $60 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 Palmerston North?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Palmerston North, so go on and extend your stay! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Palmerston North car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Palmerston North rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Palmerston North?
For a stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision damage protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also provides 24/7 emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Palmerston North ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Palmerston North with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure 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 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
