Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most popular type of car to hire in Wellington?
The type of car you hire comes down to your plans in Wellington. While many people may feel the need for a 4WD or similar to navigate the landscape, well-maintained roads mean that you can opt for a smaller vehicle if you’re staying on the beaten path.
How much does it cost to hire a car in Wellington?
The cost of Wellington car hire depends on the season. If you’re booking a hire car in summer, which is peak season, you’ll find costs can start at $40 a day. In winter, smaller cars are available for as little as $20 a day. That’s why it’s well worth comparing the deals available.
How old do I need to be to hire a car in Wellington?
In Wellington, you need to be 18 years of age to rent a car. You may be charged an underage driver fee if you’re younger than 25 – but this varies between companies.
What is the most popular rental car company in Wellington?
The range of Wellington car hire providers makes it hard to confirm which is the most popular. For this reason, your best bet is to use Webjet to compare the deals on offer for your travel dates so you can find the perfect fit.
What if I need to cancel or change my car hire reservation?
It’s important to note that while Webjet does offer flexible cancellation policies on many cars, cancellation fees will vary between rental companies. Please see the terms and conditions regarding this. However, the deposit is non-refundable. If any further fees apply, they will be charged upon cancellation. The most efficient way to cancel your booking is to click the modification link in your confirmation email and cancel from there. Webjet then contacts the rental company on your behalf and will advise you of the cancellation fee, if applicable.
If I hire a car in Wellington, where should I visit?
Where to begin? There’s so much to see and do in and around Wellington. You won’t want to miss the allure of the scenery made famous by The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but there’s so much coastal beauty, too. Drive to Cape Palliser or take the Queen Charlotte Drive for even more awe-inspiring nature. You could even jet your way towards Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau) to scope out a fair share of the North Island.
How do I return my Wellington hire car?
You’ll most likely drop off your rental car right where you picked it up, but you may have selected another return destination when you booked it. Either way, you’ll give the keys to the rental car company employees or pop them into an after-hours drop box. Be sure to deliver the car with a full tank of petrol to avoid additional charges.
Are there toll roads in Wellington?
There are no toll roads in Wellington – you will only encounter toll roads if you drive closer to Auckland (Tāmaki Makaurau).
Can I book a long-term car rental in Wellington?
You can lock in short and long-term car rentals in Wellington with Webjet.
