      Frequently asked questions

      On hiring a car at Wellington Ferry Terminal

      • Is it cheaper to book a weekly car rental in Wellington Ferry Terminal?

        The per-day rates of some rental cars may fall if you book for a longer rental period. Prices often change around daily, three-day, five-day and seven-day periods. Also, note that the selection of rental cars available in Wellington Ferry Terminal may be more limited if you are looking for a long-term car rental, so it’s best to compare a few different booking durations first.
