Fetch your bags exit arrivals at Wellington Airport (WLG-Wellington Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Wellington, around 4 miles from the terminal, opt for something small. A compact car that’s easy to operate will be perfect for those bustling city streets. But with so many things to see, like the striking sandy shores of the surrounding region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a pleasure.
