  • Palmerston North is 129 kilometres from Wellington CBD. Top-rated tourist spots like The Square deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Wellington CBD with Expedia?
Check customer reviews, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to pick up the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Wellington CBD car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Wellington CBD?
In Wellington CBD, the rule is 21 and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. It's always a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Wellington CBD?
You'll need to present a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Wellington CBD?
Unlike the United States, people in Wellington CBD drive on the left. Having the steering wheel and some other controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Take a few moments to familiarise yourself with the car before starting your journey.

With car rental prices starting as low as NZ$106 and NZ$121 a day in Wellington CBD within the past seven days, you'll be zooming away with your own incredible deal in next to no time. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Wellington CBD?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Wellington CBD car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to book a rental in Wellington CBD, we recommend checking the policies of the 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 between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
