With many of its attractions located a short drive from the city centre, seeking Christchurch Ute hire services during your tour is a wise decision. You will find it easy to access sites such as Hagley Park, a 5min drive from central Christchurch. The park is an excellent spot for the whole family to have fun. If you are in Christchurch during summer, soak in the city’s sunshine at Sumner Beach. It takes about 15min to drive from the city centre to the beach. If you fancy longer drives, schedule a picnic near Avon River. While buses take about 1 hour to access the site, driving requires approximately 30min. At the river, activities like punting are common.
Christchurch Airport receives international and domestic flights to Christchurch. The airport features a single terminal so travellers will find it easy to navigate the facility. The car rental centre, where Christchurch Ute hire companies has counters, is on the ground floor of the main terminal building. You are free to rent your favourite Ute from firms like Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Sixt and Budget. Consider renting a car in advance through KAYAK to avoid missing out on your preferred vehicle, especially during peak months between August and December. Additionally, early reservations are ideal for car hire discounts that reduce travel expenses.
One challenge you can encounter when traversing Christchurch is driving on one-way streets. Overtaking becomes difficult and you may have to travel slower. Additionally, getting lost in the city’s maze of pathways is easy without a navigation system. However, most Christchurch Ute hire firms provide GPS systems. If you drive to the city’s outskirts, beware of gravel roads, which pose a problem for new drivers. You may also encounter animals, especially sheep, crossing the road. Note that most outskirt roads have no street lights. Still, you can drive on them as their reflective markings act as a helpful guide.
The rush in Christchurch peaks at different times of the day. These include between 07.00 and 09.00, 13.00 to 14.00, and the evening hours of 16.00 to 18.00. You may have to drive at 20 mph during rush hour. Among the roads you need to avoid due to congestion include Moorhouse Avenue. Also, Blenheim Road and Brougham Street may feature traffic jams. On weekends, you can enjoy more rides in your Christchurch ute hire vehicle as congestion is nearly non-existent.
Book your pickup truck rental in Christchurch at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
July is typically the cheapest month to rent a pickup truck in Christchurch, with prices around $32 per day. The most expensive month is February, with average prices of $132 per day.

Which is the most reliable Ute to hire in Christchurch?
Be sure to rent a vehicle with excellent off-road handling capabilities so you can traverse the outdoor sites of Christchurch in comfort. The Ford Rangers is an excellent pick. The car accommodates 5 adults. It also allows 3 large suitcases, favouring those who tour Christchurch for its camping sites. For a cheaper alternative with similar features, you can hire the Mitsubishi L200/Triton from Christchurch Ute hire firms.
What is the speed limit in Christchurch?
Most Christchurch roads require a speed limit of approximately 30 mph in residential areas. However, you may find some signs indicating slightly higher speeds of 37 mph. On the highways, drive at 50 mph. While the limit may seem low, it can help keep you safe on steep and winding roads.
Where can I park a Ute in Christchurch?
While you can find parking space in Christchurch city centre, it is usually not free. Additionally, drivers can only park for a maximum of 2 hours. If you need to park longer, check out the many car parks near central Christchurch. One of the available parks is Christchurch Art Gallery Car Park. Once you leave your car here, it takes 1 min to get to the city centre.
How does KAYAK find such low pickup truck rental prices?
KAYAK compares pickup truck rental prices from all major car rental companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

When we first arrived at the airport and made a phone call as per instructions no one picked up the phone call for four attempts which was rather a disconcerting when it was wet and cold and midnight. More explicit instructions about pick up point would have been helpful

Cons:

At pickup was informed Invercargil roads were all closed (which was untrue), so I may not be able to drop the car off at scheduled point, but if I made any changes to the dropoff location I would be charged extra by Budget. Very unhelpful, and very unfair to charge customers extra due to weather events outside of our control.

The requirement to see a physical credit card is onerous. I don't carry my credit cards with me anymore - doing to is a security risk as well as the risk of losing them. All of the required information is encoded on a secure app on my smart phone. The car was a little old, but was comfortable and god to drive. The spring in the folding key was defective, so it was difficult to open.

I had to go back in 3 times b4 leaving with the rental. It would have been really easy for them to give me all information 1st time. I'm also still waiting on my $200 bond back and when I dropped it off a guy met me outside and told everything was fine away I go and tht the bond would be redirected to me. I found this procedure very strange.

The car was what we expected for what it was. We had an early flight, so when dropping off at the chch office it wasn’t open at 6am (fair enough) but instead of offering a taxi number on the building to get to the airport maybe 1 or 2 designated spots at the airport could be a nice option. 1800-0900, otherwise drop at the office.

Intermediate SUV

When we arrived to collect our booked car, I was told the booking had been cancelled & there was no car available. No communication to tell me the booking had been cancelled. The staff member was very unhelpful just saying that it wasn’t her problem because we booked through a 3rd party (Kayak). Luckily a super friendly person at another rental car company was able to help us out with a car. It did cost us $100 in taxis to get around between the airport, Hertz, then the new rental car company! All this because the car rental cancellation had not been communicated to me! Very frustrating. NEVER USING HERTZ OR KAYAK EVER AGAIN!!!

Not at point of booking that car at 6pm is classes as out of hours so additional $45 charge. Should auto generate with time booked. When taking car back 3 hours early - gentleman took keys before I was even out the car. Then when at back about to get bags out the boot with a child , he started the engine when we were at the exhaust. Appalling. No idea if he was going to reverse etc, very dangerous. Appeared in a rush despite no other customers then spent the next 20 mins sitting at the desk chatting to colleague. No need for rush.
