It's a good idea to scan your cancellation policy as there are some exceptions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal if you're unsure of anything.
What types of cars can I rent in Wellington?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked hire in Wellington. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they're a good fit for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a large amount of space. They're particularly suited to city driving. Slipping into tight parking spots will be a walk in the park!
Where can I go on a road trip from Wellington?
There are so many adventures to be had in Wellington, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can cruise around the greater area at your leisure. Add these fantastic places to your list:
- Head to Denver for an excellent sightseeing adventure. About 65 miles from Wellington, it has lots of amazing sights like Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
- Located 50 miles away, Boulder is also a favourite with travellers. Make time to take in University of Colorado Boulder while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this thriving city.
- Get into the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Pikes Peak. You'll find it about 130 miles from Wellington.
How do I find the best car hire deals in Wellington with Expedia?
It's easy to pick up an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your favourite ride, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off locations, and compare offers from trusted brands. Save even more when you combine your Wellington car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Wellington?
Wellington requires drivers to be 21 and over to hire a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual car hire rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to hire a car in Wellington?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pick-up date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What is the cheapest car hire in Wellington?
The two cheapest daily prices on offer in Wellington within the past seven days were £38 and £40. How's that for a bargain? These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Click on our long-term car hire deals page, enter your trip information and find a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Wellington hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the hire companies that operate in Wellington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
- Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
- Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
