Cheap Drive NZ Car Hire in Christchurch

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.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.

Being aware of gas stations ensures you won't run low during your travels.

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

A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Drive NZ in Christchurch. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.

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

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.
