Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Wellington Intl. Airport (WLG)?
You can, and there's plenty of choice. After you touch down, head on over to the rental car centre on Level 0 next to domestic baggage claims. Here you can arrange a booking with fantastic companies like EZI, Enterprise and Budget. If you'd like more options, check out the deals from Thrifty and Europcar.
What happens if I need to cancel my Western Lake car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time, the majority of reservations offer a full refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to understand the policy. Look over your confirmation for the finer details or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Western Lake?
Economical, easy to operate and great on mileage, it's not surprising compact vehicles are the most booked rental category in Western Lake. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is perfect for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Western Lake?
Drivers aged 21 and above can road trip around Western Lake in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge applies.

Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Western Lake?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Western Lake, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Western Lake?
Cars drive on the left-hand side of the road in Western Lake. This means that the driver's seat and controls are also on the opposite side. Leave a little extra time to familiarise yourself with your new wheels before taking off.

Where can I find a Western Lake car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Western Lake providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
