Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Wellington, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the U.S, 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., be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver's 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'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
