Christchurch City car rental guide for winter Dragon Boat Festival escapes

Winter mornings in Christchurch are crisp and clear, the Southern Alps pale against a bright blue sky. The Dragon Boat Festival falls in mid-winter, when travellers arrive for ski trips to Porter Heights or Mt Hutt, and the city centre cafes along the Avon River stay busy with weekend markets.

Ezi is the only supplier in the data, so you are looking at a $315 to $1,281 range depending on vehicle class. The value sits in the Intermediate segment, with a Toyota Corolla Hybrid at $315 for the week. If you need more space for ski gear, the Compact SUV is $35 more.

Hybrids are four out of five vehicles, which makes sense for winter highway driving to the ski fields. Five-seaters dominate the mix, but you will find a couple of 7-seaters if you are travelling as a group. Book a mid-day pickup on June 21 to avoid the airport rush.
