If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Wellington. Bear in mind that home outlets will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are usually restricted from renting luxury or specialty vehicles. Read through the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any surprises when you pick up the keys.

Any home company you select will require two things — a valid 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. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.

Unlike the U.S, motorists in Wellington drive on the left side of the road. Having the driver’s seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the car before starting your journey.

You can. We partner with trusted companies that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for all types of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Wellington — or beyond!

Some Wellington providers will rent cars 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 additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
