That depends on where you plan to wander. Downtown Wellington, about 28 miles from Paraparaumu Airport (PPQ), can be a challenge to drive in. Make life easier by booking something small, fuel-efficient, and a breeze to handle. Bear in mind that Wellington is a good base to explore some of the rocky coastlines around Wellington Region. If your vacation is more about cruising the wide-open roads, you may want something with a little more comfort and legroom. How about an SUV or a full-size car?
