How old do you have to be to rent a car in Paihia?
Paihia requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard home rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Paihia?
The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Paihia?
In Paihia, all vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road. This obviously differs from driving in the U.S, so minimize distractions and concentrate while you’re behind the wheel.
What is the cheapest car rental in Paihia?
With car rental rates starting as low as AU$144 and a day in Paihia within the past seven days, you’ll be speeding off with your own fantastic deal in no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Paihia?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a holiday home car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a set of wheels that’s all yours for however long you need.
Where can I find a Paihia car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Paihia holiday home providers you’re interested in. If you’re under the age of 25 some will charge additional fees. It’s good to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
