How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
Drivers aged 21 and above can road trip around Wellington in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You'll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Before you can hit the road in Wellington, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wellington?
You'll be driving on the left in Wellington. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the other side to what you're used to. Allow for plenty of time to familiarise yourself with your rental car before you hit the open road.

The two cheapest daily rates on offer in Wellington within the past seven days were AU$62 and AU$66. Now that's what we'd call a fantastic deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental 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?
You can. Expedia partners with reputable companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Wellington — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies operating in Wellington. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
