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 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.
You can expect the same type of traffic in Wellington as you would be used to in any capital city, which is to say peak hour can lengthen your travel time. It is also important to note that Wellington is often referred to as the Windy City and you should heed the weather situation when driving — especially if you are not used to driving in high wind conditions.
Each provider has its own terms and conditions when it comes to taking a rental car on the ferry to Picton. In some instances you’re allowed to, however, the car is not insured while on the ferry. In other instances, you will need to drop your rental car at the Wellington Ferry Terminal and collect another rental car once you arrive in Picton. If you require further information about using the ferry, please contact our customer care team.
