Scoring a Christchurch International Airport car rental for Chinese New Year
Late summer sun warms the tarmac at Christchurch International Airport as the February holidays roll in. The Canterbury plains are glowing golden under a wide sky, and the mountain passes are finally clear of winter snow. If you are chasing that perfect road trip starting February 6, sorting out your Christchurch International Airport car hire early is a very smart move.
With just one supplier in the system for this peak season, Alamo sets the entire playing field from $2,134 right up to $3,782.46. The smartest way to use this information is to skip the big utes unless you actually need the heavy towing capacity. A Compact car saves you over a thousand dollars compared to the Premium tier, leaving plenty of extra cash for fresh crayfish and local pinot noir.
The entire fleet is strictly five-seaters, which means you can pack the whole family into any vehicle on the lot. I recommend grabbing one of the Hybrid options for city driving, but choosing a robust standard petrol SUV like the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport feels much safer when you hit the high country gravel roads around Mount Cook.
