Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Hector car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to scan your rental policy.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Hector?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related requirements you should be aware of before you lock in your Hector wheels. If you're a younger driver, many rental outlets will charge an extra daily fee and limit the sorts of vehicles you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between suppliers. It's always a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Hector?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental provider 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 Hector?
In Hector and across New Zealand, motorists drive on the left side of the road. This can be daunting enough, but the steering wheel and other controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. To stay safe behind the wheel, take things slow to begin with and allow yourself extra time to arrive at your destination.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Hector?
Yes. We partner with quality providers that offer long-term rentals for all car types. Head to our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Hector — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Hector car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Hector rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
