10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Ohakune

  • Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  • Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary significantly based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to access lower rates and enjoy a greater selection, particularly during peak holiday seasons.
  • Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals offer a sensible compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  • Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This could also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  • Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements stipulate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favourable option. Other policies may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well; just ensure you return the car as empty in that case.
  • Save on city and airport pickups: Collecting your rental car from airports often incurs a surcharge, though it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  • Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  • Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind should something unexpected occur during your trip. It is straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  • Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning long road trips, seek out rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  • Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.
