What you need to know about car rentals in Timaru

How do I get the best rates on a Timaru Hertz car rental?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best rates, whether you reserve your car. But reserving ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to check the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my rental car in Timaru?

You'll need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Timaru?

Hertz's minimum age to rent a car in Timaru is 18. Make sure to review Hertz's policy, as there may be additional fees if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category rentals in particular.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to Timaru?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Timaru. Economy or compact vehicles are easier to park and ideal for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a mid-size vehicle or SUV is going to have enough room for all of you and offer a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a little extravagance on their trip can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does New Zealand require car insurance?

You are required to have insurance before you rent in New Zealand. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, offer some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Hertz car rental?

Hertz does require a deposit when you book your rental. Hertz will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip to Timaru. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the make and model of the rental.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Hertz?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full tank policy. You should get into your car with a full tank. However, if you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring it back to Hertz. Stations close to airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Timaru certainly has its charms, but you may want to take to the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from Hertz?

Hertz typically offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to return your rental at another location. Be aware there is typically an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
