Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Avis and Firefly are some to consider. ### What happens if I need to cancel my Nelson car reservation? > Cancelling a reservation with six hours notice should allow for a total refund. But this is not always a given. It's worth looking through your booking confirmation and rental agreement. Still need help? Hop on our [Customer Service Portal](https://www.expedia.ca/service/?langid=1033). ### Where can I go on a road trip from Nelson? > Nelson has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Organize a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some great options we've come up with: > > > > - Make your way to Wellington for an excellent sightseeing experience. Roughly 129 kilometres from Nelson, it's home to loads of cool attractions such as Te Papa. > - Approximately 153 kilometres away, Upper Hutt is also a favourite with travellers.

Just compare the offers from well-known rental suppliers and book the option that's perfect for you. Like to hit the road with even more in your wallet? Bundle your Nelson car rental with hotel or flight bookings. ### How old do you have to be to rent a car in Nelson? > Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related requirements to bear in mind before booking your wheels in Nelson. If you're a young driver, most rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules. ### What do you need to rent a car in Nelson? > The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any issues. ### What side of the road do you drive on in Nelson? > If you're renting a vehicle in Nelson or road-tripping around New Zealand, you'll be driving on the left-hand side. Also, the driver's seat and some controls will be on the opposite side of what you're accustomed to in the U.S. This may feel a little unfamiliar at first, so take things slow at the start. ### What is the cheapest car rental in Nelson? > We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was CA $75. The second lowest price for rental vehicles in Nelson was CA $133 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply. ### Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Nelson? > Yes, and the terrific news is companies often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Scroll through our [long-term car rental deals](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-hire/long-term) in Nelson and drive away with an incredible bargain. ### Where can I find a Nelson car rental if I am younger than 25? > You'll need to check the age policy of the Nelson rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra costs. It's best to know this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research. ## Car Rental Information | Popular car types: | [SUV](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-rental/suv?rfrr=car.table.SUV), [Full Size](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-rental/fullsize?rfrr=car.table.FullSize), [Economy](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/b/car-rental/economy?rfrr=car.table.Economy) | | --- | --- | | Car suppliers available: | | | Our best deal of the day: | CA $75 | | Our second best deal of the day: | CA $133 | | Our third best deal of the day: | CA $180 | | From the airport to your hotel: | [Airport Transportation](https://www.expedia.ca/ground-transfers?rfrr=car.table.AirportTransportation) | -
