Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
