Question 1

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a Budget car at Christchurch Airport, Christchurch?

Accepted Answer

Every rental company requires valid insurance for financial security. Without it, Budget may refuse your rental.
Exceptions where insurance may not be necessary include: Existing coverage that applies to international rentals and matches your chosen car type/class. Additional insurance from your credit card provider that covers rentals abroad.

Question 2

Does Budget require refueling in Christchurch Airport, Christchurch, New Zealand?

The Budget fuel policy you select at Christchurch Airport will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it.
