Location information for Christchurch

Christchurch is the South Island of New Zealand's main city that boasts a lively and modern atmosphere despite its reputation as the most conservative and the most English among the country's major capitals. Visitors can enjoy the recreational areas and historical aspects of the city that they can easily explore when they book for car hire in Christchurch.

The Canterbury Museum is one of Christchurch's premier attractions that provide visitors an Antarctic display. From there, visitors can head over to the International Antarctic Centre where they can experience Antarctica's icy winds while viewing some interesting wildlife. The Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu is home to one of New Zealand's largest permanent collections.

Spectacular views over the city's western part, the Canterbury Plains, the Southern Alps, the Pacific Ocean, and Pegasus Bay are enjoyed at the Christchurch Gondola. Orana is the biggest wildlife reserve of New Zealand that spans 80 hectares. The heart of the city is pedestrian-friendly so visitors can take leisurely walks from the Cathedral Square through the Avon River to get to the botanical gardens while enjoying tranquil views.

The Botanic Gardens offers a good place to relax in 23 hectares of land that is home to some exotic trees and world-renowned foliage. Visitors can also enjoy the outdoor and adventure activities that New Zealand has to offer in Christchurch. A lively bar scene and cafe venues are offered at The Strip or the Oxford Terrace every night.

Lyttelton Harbour is famous for the Hector dolphin, and it is one place that is worth visiting for a daytrip with the help of cheap car hire in Christchurch. Budget car rental also takes visitors to places like the Banks Peninsula to get to the Akaroa where breathtaking views and charming fishing villages can be seen. The Southern Alps and the village of Arthur's Pass also offer more leisure activities to travellers.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is Ecarz.co.uk the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

In general, our rates are all-inclusive. Should there be any additional costs, our booking department will get in touch with you before issuing the invoice. Should you object, you can always cancel your reservation with no obligations attached (at least 48 hours in advance).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
