Taranaki Car Rental

With Hertz and Europcar just a short commute from New Plymouth Airport (NPL), getting off the plane and onto the road is a breeze.

Expedia is passionate about knocking down the barriers to travel, that’s why we give you the flexibility to reserve your ride without paying upfront. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can just present a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup spot. It doesn’t get easier than that! The car rental company will also place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the security deposit. For some cheaper deals, you may be required to pay at the time of booking. Remember to take note of which payment options are available for the rental car you’re interested in.

We know that flexibility on the road is important. That’s why the majority of rentals provide a full refund if canceled six hours before the collection time. It’s a good idea to check your agreement though because there are some exemptions. If the information isn’t there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.

Drivers aged 21 and over can get on the road in Taranaki in a rental car. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll generally be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions apply to you.

The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
