Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Paihia car reservation?
There are always times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we offer your money back on the majority of bookings if you let us know six hours before collecting the car. Don't forget to double-check the rental agreement — there are some instances where it's not an option. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Paihia?
Busy city streets and narrow parking spaces are no bother for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in Paihia. Take the wheel of one of these and maneuver around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack a punch. But Paihia can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Paihia?
Usually, you need to be 21 years of age and over in Paihia. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge additional fees for young renters. Read the fine print before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a larger car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Paihia?
While requirements may differ between rental car outlets, the essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Paihia?
In Paihia, like the rest of New Zealand, you drive on the left side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the opposite side if it's your first time.

Where can I find a Paihia car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Paihia rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
