Catch the late summer light with your Wellington International Airport car rental
February sunshine hits the harbour differently, turning the water a deep metallic blue and baking the pine trails on Mount Victoria until they smell like warm resin. The afternoon northerly is doing its usual blustery routine, sending coffee cups skipping across the pavement outside the terminal. Securing a Wellington International Airport car rental right at the gate is the quickest way to escape the downtown one-way system and chase that golden weather. You will want your bags in the boot and the air conditioning cranked before the sun dips below the horizon.
Sorting through thirteen available vehicles for the week of February 8 reveals a very straightforward market. Alamo runs the entire show, offering cheap rental cars Wellington International Airport travellers will appreciate starting at $1214 for the week. A smart booker heads straight for the Special category, grabbing that Mystery Car to dodge the $1519 average entirely.
The entire fleet consists of standard five-seat petrol vehicles, so pack soft-sided bags if you are travelling with a full car of adults. A 2.0-litre hatchback handles the drive around the Miramar peninsula perfectly fine, and you will appreciate the lower fuel bill. Just keep both hands on the wheel when that famous Cook Strait crosswind hits your doors on the motorway.
