What happens if I need to cancel my Wellington car reservation?
Don’t stress! If you’re able to cancel your prepaid home more than six hours prior to pickup, you’ll most likely receive all of your money back. It’s a good idea to read your home policy as there are some exemptions. Visit our Customer Service Portal if you’re unsure of anything.
What types of cars can I rent in Wellington?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Wellington with Expedia?
Scoring an amazing deal on your Wellington rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare prices across major brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You’ll unlock terrific discounts when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
In Wellington, the rule is 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. Don’t forget to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Wellington?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$92. The next best price to rent a ride in Wellington was AU$97 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Yes, and the great news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your home term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Wellington and drive away with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle under the age of 25 in Wellington often depends on the holiday home company you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any extra costs for this age group. It’d be good to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective holiday home dealer to avoid extra costs at the holiday home desk.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
