Cheap National Car Rentals at Christchurch Airport, CHC

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

To save on refueling costs when departing from Airport, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

Refer to your booking confirmation for detailed pickup instructions and required documents.

We recommend that in order to have access to the best deals when considering hiring a car at Airport you should pre-book online up to 1 weeks in advance.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Inspect the vehicle for pre-existing damage and take photos to ensure clarity later.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Determine if your rental provider has an airport desk or if you’ll need to take a shuttle to reach them.
