What kind of rental car should I get for Christchurch?
Having your own wheels in Christchurch will give you more flexibility to go wherever you like. Maybe you want to leave the big city behind, explore country lanes, and see where the wind takes you. If that's the case, book one of our full-size or mid-size SUVs and take in the coastal plains in the area. If you're all about the bright lights of the city, take to the wheel of something small. Zooming around bustling streets and heavy traffic will be much less stressful in an economy or compact car.
Should I get a luxury rental car in Christchurch?
You'll be happy to hear that there's a broad range of luxurious rental vehicles in Christchurch. What you go for will depend on your budget and what you plan to do. Specialty vehicles offer unparalleled mod cons and comfort. If you want to treat yourself, why not book a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a stylish medium-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you just need a set of wheels to get from A to B as economically as possible, we can help you out with an economy vehicle (or something else that's unlikely to break the bank).
