How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
In Wellington, the requirement is usually 21 and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require comprehensive insurance. It’s a good idea to check the fine print before choosing your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
While rules can differ between rental car outlets, generally the essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Yes, and the good news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your holiday home term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Wellington and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Wellington holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 some companies will charge additional costs. It’s handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
