What types of cars can I rent in Christchurch?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you’re travelling with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked home in Christchurch. Affordable and with superb mileage, they’re a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a whole lot of room. They’re especially suited to city exploring. Zipping into tight parking spots will be a walk in the park!
Where can I go on a road trip from Christchurch?
Christchurch offers adventures galore, but don’t limit yourself to one place. Book a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some ideas:

  • Head off to London for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Approximately 145 kilometres from Christchurch, it’s home to loads of amazing sights, including Buckingham Palace.
  • Why not check out everything on offer in Birmingham too? Unmissable sights in this vibrant city include Bullring Shopping Centre. Birmingham is about 193 kilometres from Christchurch.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Christchurch?
Rental car rules in Christchurch require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many home companies impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the classes of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Christchurch?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Christchurch?
Motorists in Christchurch drive on the left-hand side, and the driver’s seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. Vehicles. Spend a bit of extra time getting to know your new car before venturing out.
What is the cheapest car rental in Christchurch?
The cheapest car rental in Christchurch within the past seven days was just AU$127 per day. The next best deal was AU$158. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home 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 Christchurch?
Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then book a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying in Christchurch or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a Christchurch car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Christchurch holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional costs. It’s good to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
