Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Wellington car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the pickup time, the majority of reservations offer a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to understand your cancellation policy. Check your itinerary for the details or go to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.

What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
Can I drive in Wellington with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, but if you really want to play it safe, apply for an International Driving Permit to carry with your U.S. License. The permit features your name, photo and driver’s details and is a handy additional identification document.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Wellington and drive away with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Wellington rental suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
