Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Taupo?
Within the past seven days in Taupo, you could have motored away in a rental for as low as CA $70 a day.
Can I rent a car from Taupo Airport (TUO)?
You can lock in a ride with Budget, which is a quick commute from Taupo Airport (TUO).
What happens if I need to cancel my Taupo car reservation?
We appreciate that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why most prepaid bookings offer a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. You may want to go through your rental policy though because there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Taupo?
When you've been to all of the interesting attractions in Taupo, there's heaps more to explore in the region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, toss your bags in the trunk and get going. We've come up with some drives we know you'll love:

  • Napier is around 113 kilometres from Taupo. Well-known attractions like Napier Beach should be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Rotorua, which is around 64 kilometres away. Skyline Rotorua is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at Mt. Eden. You'll find it roughly 225 kilometres from Taupo.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Taupo with Expedia?
It's easy to score an awesome deal with Expedia. Just choose your car type, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from leading brands. Save even more when you bundle your Taupo car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Taupo?
Taupo requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Taupo?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Taupo?
In Taupo, all cars drive on the left. This obviously differs from driving in the States, so minimize distractions and focus while you're behind the wheel.
What is the cheapest car rental in Taupo?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a car rental in Taupo was just CA $70. The next lowest price was CA $92 per day. 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 Taupo?
Whether you have plans to stay in Taupo or explore what's beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find fantastic long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Taupo car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Taupo, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what to expect.
