Is Carrentals.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).

The booking form told us

The booking form told us to ring for the shuttle from the airport,on arrival. After several unsuccessful attempts at getting a reply we went for a taxi. The taxi driver told us that there was a shuttle minibus waiting further up the departure area, which we found to be correct. The shuttle driver was expecting us, so why was that not communicated to us when we booked the car?

Compare quotes for car hire in Wellington and explore this scenic area of New Zealand freely, and in your own time. It's simple, just enter your travel details above and we'll compare prices from top suppliers like Hertz, Sixt and Thrifty. Renting a car is the best way to get around this sparse country.

Explore Wellington

Wellington’s CBD is squashed between hills and the harbour. The commercial district is several blocks east in the Lambton Quay area, and it is here that you find many of the curious government buildings. The odd-looking ‘Beehive’ houses the governments modest executives, and nearby is the old Government Building, which is said to be one of the biggest wooden buildings in the world, the National Library, which houses the most comprehensive collection of books in the country and the Katherine Mansfield Memorial, commemorating on the country’s most famous women.

Along the waterfront is a small redeveloped area with several entertainment and recreational facilities, but the newest attraction is the highly recommended Te Papa museum, which includes insightful displays of Maori culture.

A pedestrianised centre makes this city very walkable and many cafes and small restaurants, as well as good shops are clustered along Cuba street. The Thorndon area has some interesting old colonial architecture and the waterfront drive along Oriental bay is also lovely weather you’re in a car, on a bike or rollerblades.

The city also has several excellent vantage points. A road winds it’s way up to Mt Victoria, and walking trails descend. Ever popular is the antique funicular ride to the summit of the excellent botanical gardens behind the CBD.

The major suburbs in Wellington are: Breaker Bay, Houghton Bay, Karaka Bay, Mitcheltown, Mornignton, Miramar, Oriental Bay, Seatoun, Shelly Bay, Wadestown and Vogeltown.
