Your home agreement should contain all the specifics you need. If you can’t find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Birkenhead?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it’s hard to beat a compact car — the top choice in Birkenhead. They’re a joy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you’re driving around big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more room and comfort at a price that’s still nice.
Where can I go on a road trip from Birkenhead?
Book some wheels, collect the keys and get set to explore all the sights and sounds of Birkenhead. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, don’t put the brakes on there! Chart your own course to some of the other awesome places in the region:

  • Around 161 kilometres from Birkenhead, Tauranga shouldn’t be missed. With top sights like Mount Maunganui, there’s no shortage of things to keep you busy here.
  • Another destination that’s a favourite with travellers is Rotorua, around 193 kilometres away. Skyline Rotorua is just one of many reasons people keep returning.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Birkenhead?
Home vehicle rules in Birkenhead require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Most home providers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an additional fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Birkenhead?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Birkenhead?
Motorists in Birkenhead drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver’s seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. Vehicles. Spend a little extra time getting acquainted with the differences before venturing out.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Birkenhead?
Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your home term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Birkenhead and score an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Birkenhead car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Birkenhead supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the details you need.
