Christchurch is the largest city in southern New Zealand and is often regarded as the perfect place to begin or end a tour of the whole of the South Island. Christchurch was established by English settlers and its heritage is shown in the greystone nineteenth century buildings, leafy green parks and famous Gothic Cathedral.

This graceful city is a beautiful mix of the old and new, with great shopping and restaurants, galleries, museums and botanical gardens. The best way to discover Christchurch and its magnificent surroundings is with your own hire car; see and experience all that this beautiful city has to offer.

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 car rental will allow you to do just this. 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. Drive your hire car to Hanmer Springs to soak in the hot pools. Visit the lovely town of Akaroa in the Banks Peninsula, which has strong French influences and is surrounded by fertile green hills and vineyards.

Another great thing to do is take a ride on one of the most specatular train journeys in the world - the TranzApline Railway. You can drop your rental car off in Christchurch and pick up another in Greymouth, continuing your tour of the Glacier and southern National Parks areas. 

Take a drive in your car rental to Mt Cook National Park for its exquisite alpine beauty and the highest mountain in New Zealand. For wine enthusiasts, dont miss The Marlborough region which is famous the world over for their Sauvignon Blanc. Travel on to Queenstown, the scenic town which sits on the edge of Lake Wakatipu and is a great base to begin exploring the spectacular Milford Sound. Drive your hire car along the shores of Lake Wanaka and Hawea to the Haast Pass, one of the most stunning highways in New Zealand. There is so much to see and do in the South Island and with your car rental, you have the opportunity to do it all.
