Book some wheels, pick up the keys and get ready to discover all the sights and sounds of Riwaka. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, don’t let that be the end of the road! Set your navigation system to some of the other exciting places in the region:

  • Boasting attractions galore, Wellington is around 153 kilometres from Riwaka. First stop? Make your way to Te Papa, one of this city’s highlights.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Riwaka?
Riwaka requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Riwaka?
Renting a car in Riwaka is a breeze. Normally, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. After settling on your favourite set of wheels, read your policy to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to pickup.
What side of the road do you drive on in Riwaka?
You’ll be driving on the left in Riwaka. This means that the driver’s seat and other controls are also on the other side. Leave plenty of time to get the hang of your rental car before hitting the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Riwaka?
Expedia makes it a breeze to pick up a long-term holiday home in Riwaka. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your choices.
Where can I find a Riwaka car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies operating in Riwaka. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
