How do I find the best car rental deals in Whanganui with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare fees, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Whanganui car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you’ll make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Whanganui?
Drivers 21 and over can get on the road in Whanganui in a rental vehicle. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Whanganui?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy 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 Whanganui?
People in Whanganui drive on the left-hand side of the road, and the driver’s seat and some controls are on the opposite side to cars in the U.S. Spend a little extra time getting familiar with your car before taking off.
What is the cheapest car rental in Whanganui?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental car in Whanganui was just $161. The second lowest was $164 per day.

Where can I find a Whanganui car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Whanganui rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25, some will charge extra fees. It’s useful to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Whanganui?
It’s smart to have collision protection to safeguard your Whanganui rental car against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency support and a zero-dollar deductible if you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled pick-up time, you’ll receive a complete refund.
