Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies that operate in Wellington. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
