What do you need to rent a car in Christchurch?
You'll generally require a current driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
Can I drive in Christchurch with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your valid U.S. License will be enough for you to legally drive in Christchurch. But if you're the sort of adventurer who likes to cover all your bases, get yourself an International Driving Permit. It's relatively easy to arrange.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Christchurch?
You can. We partner with quality companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for many car categories. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Christchurch --- or beyond!
Where can I find a Christchurch car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that operate in Christchurch. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
