Book Cheap Sixt Car Hire Deals in Upper Riccarton, Christchurch, New Zealand

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Prior to booking, check for any current promotional offers or discounts. Many rental agencies provide seasonal deals or early booking discounts.

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.

Ensure you know whether your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be vital in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Many rental firms prefer credit cards and may not accept debit cards for payment. If you're using a debit card, confirm the company's policies before making a reservation.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Familiarize yourself with the fuel policy for your rental. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means returning the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' indicates you return it at the same fuel level. Full-to-Full is usually more economical.
