What types of cars can I rent in Hillcrest?

With terrific gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they’re well-suited to getting around the city. A compact offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra comfort. Prefer something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Hillcrest with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare rates, offers and home providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Hillcrest car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you’ll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hillcrest?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Hillcrest. Be mindful that most home suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren’t permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Thoroughly read the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any problems at pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Hillcrest?
Any home company you choose will need these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Hillcrest?
If you’re renting a vehicle in Hillcrest or planning a big road trip in New Zealand, remember that you’ll be driving on the left. Also, the steering wheel and some controls will be on a different side to what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hillcrest?
You can. Expedia partners with quality suppliers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all categories of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Hillcrest — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Hillcrest car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Hillcrest holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It’s handy to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
