Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Christchurch Intl. Airport (CHC)?
Take your pick of a good selection of rental car companies not far from the airport. Avis, Budget and Thrifty Car Rental are popular with many travellers. Firefly and Economy are some other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Greendale car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the info about this. In nearly all situations, full refunds are provided if a reservation is cancelled more than six hours prior to collecting the car. Be sure to read the car rental agreement to see if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Greendale?
Inexpensive, a cinch to handle and great on mileage, it's hardly surprising compact cars are the most popular rental category in Greendale. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Greendale?
When you've been to all of the terrific attractions in Greendale, there's plenty more to see in the surrounding area. Collect the keys to a rental car, stow your bags in the trunk and get on the road. These are some drives you're sure to enjoy:

  • Head off to Mount Cook for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. Around 161 kilometres from Greendale, it has tons of great attractions like Mount Cook National Park.
  • Roughly 153 kilometres away, Westland Tai Poutini National Park is also popular with travellers. Allow time to experience Franz Josef Glacier while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this city.
  • Spend time in the outdoors and inhale the fresh air at St. Clair Beach. You'll find it approximately 290 kilometres from Greendale.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Greendale with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Greendale car rental with hotel or flight bookings and drive off with extra savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Greendale?
Usually, you need to be 21 years and over in Greendale. You should be aware that most outlets will charge a young renter fee. Check before you book, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a specialty ride or a larger car like an SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Greendale?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Greendale?
People in Greendale drive on the left-hand side, and the driver's seat and some controls are on the opposite side to U.S. vehicles. Take some extra time getting acquainted with your new ride before getting on the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Greendale?
Yes. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of Greendale — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Greendale car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Greendale supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the details you need.
