What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Before you can road trip around Wellington, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you don't take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.

Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've hopped behind the wheel of your own rental car for just $79 per day. The second lowest daily rate in Wellington was $81. 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 rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Expedia makes it a snap to pick up a cheap long-term car rental in Wellington. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and compare your options.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Wellington, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wellington?
You'll want to add collision damage protection while booking your Wellington rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can breathe easy knowing you'll be covered in the event of a mishap. It's easy to opt in to this plan while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Wellington with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Australia, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence 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 be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
