How old do you have to be to rent a car in Napier?
Napier requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual home rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Napier?
While booking conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Napier?
Unlike the U.S, people in Napier drive on the left side of the road. Having the steering wheel and some controls on the opposite side can also take a bit of getting used to. Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the car before embarking on your journey.
What is the cheapest car rental in Napier?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$90. The next best price to rent a ride in Napier was AU$122 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday 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 Napier?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Napier car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Napier outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just be aware that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the details you need.
