What happens if I need to cancel my Wellington car reservation?
We get that flexibility on the road is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings provide a total refund if you notify us six hours ahead of collecting the car. You may want to read over your agreement though as there are some exceptions. If the info isn't there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Wellington?
Affordable, easy to handle and good on mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most popular type of rental in Wellington. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is perfect for city adventures or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Wellington?
Wellington has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just one place. Organise a set of wheels and take to the road to explore the surrounding region. These are some great options:

  • Head to Amarillo for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 153 kilometres from Wellington, it's home to lots of great attractions like Palo Duro Canyon.
  • About 161 kilometres away, Lawton is also popular with wanderers. Make time to get to Comanche Nation Casino while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this buzzing city.
  • Myriad Botanical Gardens is about 257 kilometres from Wellington and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Wellington with Expedia?
It's easy to pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. Just choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from leading rental providers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Wellington car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington?
Wellington rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington?
Renting a car in Wellington is a cinch. Usually, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and a credit card. After selecting your favourite set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no further requirements before pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Wellington, so go ahead and extend your well-deserved holiday! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and lock in your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Wellington car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Wellington companies will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
