What happens if I need to cancel my Taranaki car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why the majority of prepaid reservations give a complete refund if you notify us six hours prior to collecting the car. It's still good to read the rental policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Taranaki?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy model — the most popular rental in Taranaki. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're ideal for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a great deal of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Squeezing into cramped parking spots will be a walk in the park!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taranaki?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Taranaki. Take into account that rental providers will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Thoroughly read the fine print before you book so there are no hassles when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Taranaki?
You'll generally require a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between providers, so it's always wise to check while booking.
Can I drive in Taranaki with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you really want to play it safe, arrange an International Driving Permit to accompany your U.S. License. The permit features your name, driver's information and photo and is helpful as an additional identity document.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Taranaki?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Taranaki, so go on and extend your hard-earned holiday! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Taranaki car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Taranaki rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra costs. It's best to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Taranaki?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a great idea for your Taranaki holiday. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while organising your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
