Where can I go on a road trip from Christchurch?
There are many exciting adventures to be had in Christchurch, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these fantastic destinations to your to-do list:

  • London is about 90 miles from Christchurch. Well-known sights like Big Ben deserve a place on your must-see list while you're in town.
  • Your next stop? It has to be Oxford, which is around 75 miles away. Christ Church College is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Christchurch with Expedia?
Check out reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Christchurch car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Christchurch?
You'll need to be 21 and over to slide behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Christchurch. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a young renter fee. Check the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Christchurch?
Before you can take the wheel in Christchurch, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
What side of the road do you drive on in Christchurch?
If you take the wheel in Christchurch, you'll need to drive on the left. Take note that the steering wheel will also be on the opposite side to what you're used to. Consider choosing a car with automatic transmission if it's your first time driving on the left.
What is the cheapest car rental in Christchurch?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've slid into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $40 per day. The second lowest daily price on offer in Christchurch was $41. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Christchurch?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a set of wheels that's all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Christchurch car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Christchurch often depends on the rental company you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not have any extra costs for this age range. It'd be smart to read the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to escape excessive charges when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Christchurch?
Purchase collision damage protection while booking your Christchurch rental car with Expedia. This covers your ride against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency help, you can take the wheel knowing you'll be covered for possible mishaps. You can opt in to this insurance while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Christchurch with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in England, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
