How do I find the best car rental deals in Rakaia with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a breeze to compare rates, offers and rental companies, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Rakaia car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rakaia?
In Rakaia, the rule is usually 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. Don't forget to read the fine print carefully before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Rakaia?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Rakaia?
In Rakaia, as with all of New Zealand, you drive on the left side of the road. Take things slow and get comfortable driving on the left if it's your first time.
What is the cheapest car rental in Rakaia?
Rakaia has had some very happy car rental customers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were $97 and $104. 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.

Where can I find a Rakaia car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Rakaia often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to avoid extra costs on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Rakaia?
Get your road trip off to a good start by choosing Expedia's collision protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as 24/7 emergency help. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your car. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Rakaia ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Rakaia with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in New Zealand, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification 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 things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
