Car rental FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Whangarei, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 22 December 2024.
  • What are the requirements to rent a car in Whangarei?

    To ensure you're able to pick up your car rental at the car rental places in Whangarei, you should be aware of some of the restrictions and requirements involved. You'll need to be 21 to be able to rent a car in Whangarei and you must have been driving legally for a full year. If you don't have a valid local licence, make sure you have an international driving licence, which is different from an International Driving Permit. When picking up your rental car in Whangarei, bring the credit card used for the online booking, your booking confirmation and your passport.

  • What are the rules for driving in Whangarei?

    To keep both yourself and other drivers safe, it's important to be aware of local driving laws. The local Whangarei department of motor vehicles is a good place to go for new law changes. While driving your Whangarei car rental, keep to the left-hand lane and pass slower traffic on the right. Make sure you and all passengers have their seatbelts on at all times and avoid using a mobile phone unless accompanied by a hands-free system.
