Christchurch City car hire for a 10-day New Year escape
The Canterbury plains turn a bright, endless green under the late December sun, and the evening light stays in the sky until nearly nine thirty. The Avon River is packed with punters, and the Botanic Gardens are in full bloom. Securing a Christchurch City car rental right now is your ticket to loading up the boot with picnic supplies and driving out to Sumner Beach for the afternoon. It is the absolute peak of summer, and you have ten full days to enjoy it.
Booking data for this New Year stretch shows Ezi holding all the cards, with six listings and a median price of $2320 for the ten-day stint. The cheapest rental cars Christchurch City has available through them sit at $1470 for an Intermediate car. Smart bookers grab that smaller hatchback early, locking in the lowest rate before the holiday rush dries up the cheaper options.
The fleet is heavily weighted toward five-seat hybrids, which are exactly what you want for cheap, efficient running around the wider Canterbury region. Mountain passes are clear and dry right now, so an all-wheel drive is overkill unless you are packing a full family and mountain bikes. Try to arrange your airport pickup for mid-morning on the 29th to skip the worst of the domestic arrival queues and get your holiday started sooner.
