Best car rental prices in Christchurch airport

We understand the importance of choosing the right pick-up location. With that said, Bookingauto strives to provide customers with the opportunity to collect a car from all desired locations in Christchurch airport, including the city centre, main railway stations, and the nearest airports. Thanks to such a large selection of rental points, our clients can book a car in Christchurch airport and pick it up at a convenient place for them.

Options and possibilities:

We take into account the preferences of our customers and look for a car that fits into the right category. For example, those who come to Christchurch airport on their own or with a small company can rent a spectacular convertible Ford Mustang from us, starting at €71 per day and rented out by the popular company EUROPCAR in Christchurch airport. For those of you who arrive with your whole family or friends, a roomy and reliable minivan VW Transporter might be best - from €64 per day. For anyone who loves comfort and doesn’t have limited funds, BUDGET recommends opting for a business class car like Nissan Maxima for €40 per day. For those travelling on a budget, rent a compact model Ford Focus for just €16 per day.

How to minimize costs:

In order to avoid paying too much, plan to pick up the car and return it at the same time. Car rental fees are set for the entire rental day. Therefore, if you return the car after 25 hours, the payment will be calculated as 48 hours, or two full days. Likewise, if you use your rental car for more than 72 hours, you will pay for 96 hours of rent.

How the cost changes in Christchurch airport

During the high season in summer, car rental in Christchurch airport costs 20-30% more than at other times. For example, renting the Seat Toledo popular in Christchurch airport costs €27 per day in July. In autumn, you’d pay about €13 for the same model.

During the holidays, the demand for car rental is very high, which is reflected in both the price and the choice of available cars. Therefore, you should book in advance if possible.

In the summer, prices for convertibles are especially high. As a guideline, a Ford Mustang will cost €71 per day for the duration of the vacation period.

Among budget models, the most demanded in Christchurch airport is the Ford Focus. The EUROPCAR company rents it out for €16 per day.

For lovers of comfortable driving, you will also have to pay an increased price for business class cars – a Nissan Maxima will cost about €40 per day.

With the arrival of autumn, demand gradually decreases and this is reflected in costs. For example, a Volvo XC60 at this time can be rented for just €32 per day.

It will also be easier to find unusual and exclusive car models. For example, by renting a LEXUS RX, you will experience real driving pleasure and enjoy a luxurious visit that will remain in your memory forever.

Answers to popular questions about car rental in Christchurch airport

Question: What is included in the car rental price?

Answer: The cost of renting a car in Christchurch airport is usually made up of unlimited mileage, car damage insurance (CDW), and VAT. Some additional services that can be added are insurance against theft, inclusion of a child seat, and admission for a second driver to use the car. As a rule, the client picks up the car with a full tank of fuel. You must fill it up on its return. In the rental conditions of the selected car, you can find a full list of services that are included in the rental price. Therefore, we recommend that you carefully read all of the important information before booking.

Question: Is it possible to rent a car in one destination and return it in another city?

Answer: You can pick up a car in Christchurch airport and return it in another city, but you will have to pay extra for this. When booking, find the option "Return in another location" in the search form and indicate the city in which you will return the car. However, this option is not available for all cars. The system will return eligible options to you in the search results. The indicated rental price in this case already includes an additional fee for returning the car in another city. In some circumstances, the need to return a car in another city may arise after the lease has been issued, i.e. during the use of the vehicle. In this case, you need to call the rental company directly at the phone number indicated on the voucher to come to an agreement and discuss the terms of the surcharge.

Question: How do I choose the perfect car for me?

Answer: The most popular cars in Christchurch airport are ones that fit into the Compact and Standard categories, including the Ford Focus and Seat Toledo models. If you want to choose a car that exactly matches your needs, try making a short list of your expectations. Think about your passengers and how comfortable they’ll be while driving. Check the volume of the boot, as well as safety and fuel economy features if that’s important to you.

Question: How do I rent a car in my area?

Answer: Click on the "Car rental near me" icon in the search form. The system will automatically determine your coordinates and suggest a number of available cars, starting with the ones closest to your location. However, check the exact address of the rental office before booking to ensure that the coordinates are accurate.

Question: Are there low-cost airlines in the car rental business in Christchurch airport?

Answer: The most budget-friendly car rental options are offered by Budget, Last minute rent a car, and Thrifty. You should know, though, that well-known network companies often hold promotional offers, where the discount can be up to 70% off. What’s more, you won’t have to compromise on the quality of service! To choose the most attractive offer, take your time and compare the prices of the cars offered by different rental companies. This will help you to choose a car with suitable characteristics and rent it on the best terms.
