How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taupo?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Taupo.

Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Taupo?
Generally, all that's required is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental companies, so it's a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Taupo?
In Taupo, motorists drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to get to your destination.
What is the cheapest car rental in Taupo?
$80 and $87 were the lowest daily rates for car rentals in Taupo within the past seven days. 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 Taupo car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Taupo companies will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Taupo?
For a smooth, stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides round-the-clock emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Taupo vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
