Drive a Hire Car in Christchurch

Christchurch is a convenient base from which to explore the surrounding rural countryside and the natural attractions and activities of the region, and your Christchurch car hire from DriveAway Holidays will allow you to do just this. Collect your Christchurch Car Hire from either Christchurch Airport or any one of the downtown locations. Take the Christchurch Gondola to the summit of Port Hills for brilliant views of the city and the hinterland and familiarize yourself with your surroundings.
