Late Summer Sun and Christchurch City car hire for the Holiday
By early February the late summer sun bakes the pavements of Cathedral Square and the evening light stretches well past eight. Families are out flipping sausages on the public barbecues at Hagley Park and the Avon River glows a flat gold under the clear blue skies. With the Chinese New Year rush bringing plenty of overseas visitors to the South Island, sorting out your Christchurch City car rental early is the smartest move you can make for a February escape.
Securing cheap rental cars Christchurch City means moving quickly on the smaller categories because the supply is firmly concentrated with Ezi across these fourteen days. The base rates are incredibly transparent right now with no hidden location fees tacked on. A smart booker looks at the massive price gap between the bargain $1848 sedans and the $3444 premium SUVs and decides if boot space is really worth paying nearly double.
The fleet heavily favours hybrids which is fantastic news for your fuel budget on the long open road highways down to Tekapo or up to Kaikoura. If you have a family of five or six with large suitcases you probably want to look at the seven seater options but you should reserve them immediately. The days are hot and the roads are dry so a two wheel drive compact SUV is perfectly fine for this time of year.
