If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Wellington, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may hire to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any nasty surprises on pick-up, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring 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 current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
