How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
Wellington requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Before you can hit the road in Wellington, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a home supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and lock in a set of wheels that’s all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Wellington outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to organise 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 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 used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
