At GO Rentals, we’re so happy to have car rentals available to hire in Wellington for you to begin the holiday of a lifetime! Check out our top destinations in Wellington city centre and the surrounding region:
Zip through the city in our compact car rental and make a must-see stop at New Zealand's national museum. Immerse yourself in Māori and Pacific culture, be inspired by the interactive displays or learn all about NZ natural history right in Wellington city centre.
It’s not a worthwhile Kiwi adventure unless you visit some of the Lord Of The Rings set locations. The surrounding area of Wellington is home to many of the places where hobbits and elves frequented! All picturesque in their own way, Mount Victoria, Hutt Park and Kaitoke Regional Park are perfect for a day visit or camping adventure (if you’re up for it!).
Mount Victoria Lookout has the best aspect of Wellington city! Whether you want to stop off for a quick look at the panoramic views or go for a longer hike, Mount Victoria is the perfect place for any nature lover. And for the more active tourists, the mountain biking trails are sure to get your blood flowing!
Rent a car from Wellington Airport and head straight to the harbour to take in the beautiful seaside. Take an afternoon stroll along the promenade at Wellington Waterfront and drink in the fresh air. For the thrill seekers, try out kayaking for a sea adventure!
The iconic Wellington Cable Car is considered to be one of the city’s most popular landmarks. Taking you from Lambton Quay in the city centre up to picturesque Kelburn, this historic cable car is great for a relaxing scenic experience. With a museum and adventure playground at the end of the ride, this trip is perfect for a quiet day of sightseeing.
Finally, only a short drive from Wellington city, the Miramar Peninsula is great for a mini road trip adventure! Head up to Shelly Bay to check out the famous Chocolate Fish Cafe or simply go for a scenic drive to take in all the stunning coastline.

This former quarry site, is now part of the Te Kapahou Nature Reserve. There is an interesting Visitors Centre and an appealing beach walk. This is one of the many locations we could not have visited without our trusty Mitsubishi ASX from GO Rentals.
While staying in Wellington, we drove our rental car down to Cape Palliser to see the great lighthouse and our first seal colony as well. We even found Paua Shells at the beach. What a great Kiwi day!
Thank you GO RENTALS lovely helpful Wellington staff ... this is us returning from Skate NZ National Championships held in Palmerston North, quick stop on the Kapiti Coast.
