Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Wellington rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, 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, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
