Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Wellington car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility on the road is important. That's why most bookings offer a complete refund if you let us know at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. It's a good idea to read the policy though as there are some exclusions. If you can't see any details there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Wellington?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most sought-after rental type in Wellington. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Wellington can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Wellington?
Wellington is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Arrange a set of wheels and take to the road to explore the surrounding area. We've pulled together these great options:

  • Head off to Salt Lake City for an excellent sightseeing adventure. About 161 kilometres from Wellington, it has tons of inspiring attractions, including Temple Square.
  • Why not enjoy everything on offer in Sandy too? Unmissable attractions in this colourful city include Alta Ski Area. Sandy is around 153 kilometres from Wellington.
  • Visit Zion National Park to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Wellington, it's roughly 322 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Wellington with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
Usually, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Wellington. It's worth noting that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your selected rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Wellington or road-tripping about, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Wellington, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
