What types of cars can I rent in Waikato?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the top choice in Waikato.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Waikato?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Waikato. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21  prepare for additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before reserving your ride. Outlets also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Waikato?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements may differ between rental companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Waikato?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Waikato, so go on and extend your getaway! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and book your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Waikato car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are found in Waikato. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
