Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Christchurch, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

Look up fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Refueling at a local station is often more economical than paying rental company rates.

If you have a specific vehicle model in mind, consider rentals that guarantee the car type you want. This avoids surprises at pickup when you receive an alternative vehicle.
