How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
Wellington rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard home rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Any home company you select will need these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Wellington outlets will rent to drivers under 25  and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
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 may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
