Question 4

Question 5

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whakatane?

Accepted Answer

Whakatane requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and stricter rental conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Whakatane?

Accepted Answer

Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in Whakatane?

Accepted Answer

If you get behind the wheel in Whakatane, you'll need to drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're familiar with. Consider booking a vehicle with automatic transmission for a smoother motoring experience.

Question 8

What is the cheapest car rental in Whakatane?

Accepted Answer

With prices beginning at just AU$129 and AU$145 per day in Whakatane within the past seven days, you'll be driving away with your own fantastic deal before you know it. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Accepted Answer

Question 10

Where can I find a Whakatane car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer
