How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
In most cases, the requirement is 21 years and over in Wellington. You should be aware that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge. Read the fine print before you book, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle under the age of 25 in Wellington often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not have any additional costs for this age range. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
