Christchurch Airport Car Rental FAQs
Everything you need to know about collecting a hire car at Christchurch Airport
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, every day, so you can collect your car at Christchurch International Airport at any hour. This is worth checking before you book anywhere: most rental desks at the airport close in the late afternoon, which leaves evening and overnight arrivals stuck until morning. If your flight lands at 1am, we will still be there.
Nothing changes, and there is no need to call ahead in a panic. Give us your flight number when you book and we will work to your actual arrival rather than your scheduled one. Because we are open around the clock, a delay of two hours or ten hours makes no difference to whether your car is waiting for you.
We bring the car to you at the terminal, so there is no shuttle bus and no off-site depot to find with your luggage. Send your flight details when you book and we will confirm exactly where to meet. If it suits you better, we can deliver to your city hotel or accommodation instead at no different level of service.
Rates start at $95 per day across our fleet of 19 vehicles, from compact hybrids through to 7 seaters and luxury SUVs. The figure we quote is the figure you pay. We price with no hidden extras, and if you find a comparable rate cheaper elsewhere we will match it. Send us your dates for an exact quote.
Yes, and it is one of the most popular things we arrange. One-way rentals let you drive the scenic route through Tekapo and the Mackenzie Country without backtracking to Christchurch to return the car. We also cover Wanaka, Dunedin, Picton, Nelson and destinations further north. Tell us your route when you book and we will confirm the arrangement.
For most trips, no. The main routes to Tekapo, Queenstown, Kaikoura and the West Coast are sealed roads that any of our cars will handle comfortably. A 4WD or SUV is worth considering in winter, particularly if you are heading to the ski fields, where access roads can require chains or 4WD. Tell us where you are going and we will tell you honestly what you need.
Yes. Our fleet includes 7 seaters and SUVs with genuine luggage capacity, which matters when a family of five arrives with suitcases and ski bags. Because we hold a limited number of larger vehicles, they book out first over the ski season and the summer holidays, so it pays to reserve early rather than on arrival.
Our base is at 181A Lincoln Road in Addington, a short drive from Christchurch International Airport. In practice you never need to come to us, because delivering the car to the airport is part of our standard service rather than an added extra you have to arrange.
