What types of cars can I rent in Whakatane?
Cost-effective, a breeze to handle and delivering excellent mileage, it's no coincidence that compact vehicles are the most popular rental category in Whakatane. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or short road trips.

  • Your next pit stop? Consider Rotorua, which is around 72 kilometres away. Skyline Rotorua is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.

Why should I rent a Whakatane car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Whakatane with Expedia?
It's easy to pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose the car class, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from leading providers. Save even more when you bundle your Whakatane car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whakatane?
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.
What do you need to rent a car in Whakatane?
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.
What side of the road do you drive on in Whakatane?
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.
What is the cheapest car rental in Whakatane?
With prices beginning at just AU$73 and AU$86 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Whakatane?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a ride that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Whakatane car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Whakatane providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
