Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
