How old do you have to be to rent a car in Canterbury?
Canterbury requires drivers to be 21 and over to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Canterbury?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Canterbury, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you choose not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What is the cheapest car rental in Canterbury?
AU$132 and AU$147 were the lowest daily prices for rental vehicles in Canterbury within the past seven days. 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 Canterbury?

Where can I find a Canterbury car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Found a Canterbury outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just keep in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
