Rules vary between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.

You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wellington?
In Wellington, like the rest of South Africa, you drive on the left-hand side of the road. Take it slow at first and build confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.

Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Wellington, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in.
