Car hire Christchurch

Arranging for car hire in Christchurch is a common practice among travellers particularly because the city is an ideal starting point for tours around New Zealand's South Island. The city is well known as a Garden City mainly due to the number of nature parks and reserves that are located all over the area.

Getting a budget car rental is the best way to get around the city. The Christchurch Cathedral is one of its most notable landmarks located in the centre of the city and is also one of the most popular starting points for tours. From there, head for the many art galleries and museums to learn more about Christchurch.

The Art Gallery is always a great place to start with its more than five thousand items on exhibit. After that, drive to the Air Force Museum where you will find replicas of fighter planes that will tell you the history of the country's air force. The Canterbury Museum with its historic artefacts is also worth exploring.

The city is also home to a number of restaurants and food outlets that sell every kind of cuisine imaginable. The Cathedral square is especially popular for its street food with vendors selling quick snacks such as fish and chips and even Chinese food.

After exploring the whole city, take your cheap car hire in Christchurch and drive to some of the most popular destinations in South Island. For instance, Akaroa is great for food trips while Nelson is an ideal place for basking in the sun and indulging in wine and art.
