Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Taupo?
The lowest daily price for a rental car in Taupo within the past seven days was AU$89. With the flexibility of having your own set of wheels, it's easy to cruise to whichever local sights are calling your name.
Can I rent a car from Taupo Airport (TUO)?
Budget is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Lock in your ride sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my Taupo car reservation?
Check over your home policy to be sure, but the majority of prepaid reservations are eligible for a full refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours before the collection time. There are some exemptions though. Your booking will have more info, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Taupo?
Cost-effective, easy to operate and fuel-efficient, it's no surprise that compact cars are the most popular home category in Taupo. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city breaks or quick road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium --- the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Taupo?
Book some wheels, pick up the keys and discover all Taupo has to offer. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, don't let that be the end of the road! Plot your own path to some of the other inspiring places in the region:

  • You'll feel the spirit of a city bursting with life as soon as you pull into Napier. Some 113 kilometres from Taupo, it's home to a ton of excellent spots to explore, such as Napier Beach.
  • Tauranga, around 113 kilometres away, will also show you a good time. Need some sightseeing inspiration? Mount Maunganui won't disappoint.
  • No visit is complete without spending a day at Mt. Eden. This renowned nature spot is approximately 225 kilometres from Taupo. Enjoy the fresh air and relax!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taupo?
If you're aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Taupo. Keep in mind that home providers will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking to avoid any problems when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Taupo?
Generally, all that's required is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home companies, so it's a good idea to check while booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Taupo?
In Taupo, motorists drive on the left. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to the U.S. For a smooth and safe journey, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself ample time to get to your destination.
What is the cheapest car rental in Taupo?
AU$89 and AU$105 were the lowest daily rates for car rentals in Taupo within the past seven days. 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 Taupo?
You can, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Taupo and hit the road with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Taupo car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Taupo companies will rent to drivers under 25  and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
