Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Wellington often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age range. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to escape any nasty surprises on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Wellington?
For a smooth, stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against vandalism, accident damage and theft. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Wellington vehicle with Expedia and save time and money 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 Australia, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider 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 identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
