Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Queenstown?
The cheapest daily rate in Queenstown was $23 based on prices within the last seven days. Take a look at our wide range of options, from small and affordable vehicles to classy, head-turning rides.
Can I rent a car from Queenstown Intl. Airport (ZQN)?
You’ll find a nice selection of rental car companies within a short commute of Queenstown Intl. Airport (ZQN). Economy, Firefly, NÜ Car Rentals, Europcar and Budget are traveler favorites.
What happens if I need to cancel my Queenstown car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of pickup, the majority of prepaid bookings offer a complete refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to understand the policy. Read through your itinerary for the specifics or visit our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Queenstown?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many travelers to Queenstown. With terrific gas mileage and easy parking and handling, they’re perfect for zipping around the city. A compact car is slightly more spacious than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a little extra style and comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our intermediate, standard or full-size range.
Where can I go on a road trip from Queenstown?
With your own set of wheels, exploring the surrounding regions is as easy as putting your foot on the accelerator. Queenstown is a wonderful place to start, but there’s tons more to keep you busy in the region. Pick up the keys to a rental, toss your luggage in the trunk and take a peek at these other fantastic spots:

  • You’ll feel the lively spirit of a city bursting with life the moment you pull into Dunedin. Some 110 mi from Queenstown, it’s home to a ton of amazing places to visit, such as Larnach Castle.
  • Invercargill, around 95 mi away, will also show you a good time. Curious what there is to see? Civic Theatre is our first pick.
  • After a long stint behind the wheel, treat yourself to some fresh air at Mount Cook National Park. It’s approximately 130 mi from Queenstown.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Queenstown?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Queenstown. Keep in mind that rental companies will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young motorists often aren’t permitted to rent larger vehicles and luxury cars. Carefully read the terms and conditions before booking to avoid any surprises during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Queenstown?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules often differ between suppliers, so it’s always a good idea to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Queenstown?
Motorists in Queenstown 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 the differences before taking off.
What is the cheapest car rental in Queenstown?
The cheapest price for a car rental in Queenstown within the past seven days was $23 per day. The second best deal snapped up by happy travelers was $28. 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 Queenstown?
Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we’ll list fabulous options from numerous leading companies.
Where can I find a Queenstown car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking for a rental in Queenstown, we recommend checking the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Queenstown?
You should have collision damage protection to safeguard your Queenstown rental car against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, you can easily add this insurance to your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24/7 emergency assistance and a zero-dollar deductible in the event of a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled collection time, you’ll get a 100 percent refund.
