Frequently asked questions

On hiring a car in Rotorua

  • Why are there no hire cars in Rotorua at certain times of the year?

    Our data shows that Rotorua, along with other isolated cities in Australia, book out of rental cars during peak seasons (i.e., school holidays and major city events) because of the limited amount of rental cars available by providers in the area. We recommend always booking well in advance for this location.

  • Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Rotorua?

    The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Rotorua may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.

  • Can I pick up my hire car in Rotorua and return it to a different location?

    Yes, just untick “Return to the same location” in our search form and select your preferred drop-off location. Be aware that this will incur a one-way fee to your booking, which will be included in the total cost.
