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.

If you’re sharing driving duties, check the policies on additional drivers. Some companies charge extra fees, while others may allow it for free under certain conditions.

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.

To evade additional charges, return the rental car on schedule. Familiarize yourself with the agreed return time to prevent any surprises.

Select a car with good fuel efficiency to save money during your rental. This can significantly reduce your overall travel expenses.

If you plan to have someone else drive, check if the rental company permits a second driver and whether there are extra fees involved. Some may offer free additional drivers under specific conditions.

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

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.
