Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Palmerston North Intl. Airport (PMR)?
Take your pick of a good range of car rental outlets within a short distance of the airport. Firefly, Europcar and Budget are popular with many travelers. Hertz and Avis are some other quality options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Palmerston North car reservation?
We have good news! You should be given a total refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours before collecting the car.

What do you need to rent a car in Palmerston North?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you want to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
Can I drive in Palmerston North with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, as long as your U.S. License is valid. But think about getting an International Driving Permit anyway. They’re fairly easy to get, and with one, you’re licensed to drive in other places if your vacation plans extend beyond Palmerston North.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Palmerston North?
Whether you’re planning to stop in Palmerston North 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 excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Palmerston North car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies operating in Palmerston North. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
