How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
The minimum age is 21. But there are several age-related restrictions you should bear in mind before locking in your Wellington wheels. If you’re a young driver, most home suppliers will charge an extra fee and limit the kinds of cars you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between outlets. It’s a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Generally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules often differ between home companies, so it’s wise to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wellington?
If you’re renting a car in Wellington or road-tripping around England, remember that you’ll be driving on the left side of the road. Also, the steering wheel will be on a different side to what you’re accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so drive with extra care.

Whether you have plans to hang around Wellington or venture beyond, you can reserve a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Wellington providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
