Some Wellington companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.

If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental.
