The car rentals in Niue make it easy and affordable to use rental cars for airport transport thanks to the option to pick up/drop off vehicles at Hanan Airport for no additional fee.
If you have booked a car rental for pick-up at Hanan Airport, your car rental will be available on your arrival in Niue.
Picking Up Your Rental Vehicle from Niue Airport
Different car rental companies have different processes for picking up the vehicle. The most common process is as follows: Outside the arrivals area, pop-up car rental kiosks are there along with car rental staff to go through your booking. You’ll go through the car rental paperwork, as well as a vehicle inspection before you’re handed over the keys to the vehicle. The vehicle will either be parked at the airport car park or right at the entrance of the airport – either way, it will not be too far to walk.
Alternatively, some car rental companies will leave you instructions on where to find the vehicle at the airport. The car will be open with the keys in the ignition. There should be a booklet in the glove compartment outlining the car rental policy.

You can also use your car rental to return to Hanan Airport when catching your departure flight. The process for returning your vehicle at the airport is simple: park the vehicle in the airport car park and leave the car keys in the car (we recommend leaving the window down if it’s a newer vehicle with the threat of locking itself). There is no additional paperwork or procedures to be done.
