Cheap Snap Rentals Car Hire in Christchurch

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

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.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

When hiring a car in Christchurch, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Snap Rentals charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs

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

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Before concluding your car hire in Christchurch, confirm the exact drop-off location with Snap Rentals. This will save you time and help avoid any confusion at the end of your rental period.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
