Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving in Taupo by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like AVIS typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

When hiring a car in Taupo, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like AVIS. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
