Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental.
