To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wellington?
For a secure, stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also provides customers with round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Wellington ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in South Africa, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
