Reviews of Christchurch Car Hire

M. B.

So friendly and helpful! My rental was the perfect car to take me around a bit of the south island and at a very reasonable price. Really appreciate the amazing service- even let me borrow a charging adapter for the week and the after-hours drop off was a breeze. Will definitely use again next time I'm in Christchurch!

S. H.

We needed a vehicle at very short notice. Christchurch Car Hire were a breeze to deal with, responded to questions promptly. We had no issues with the vehicle and I would certainly use this company again.

W. A.

I was very happy with my recent hire car experience with Christchurch Car Hire. I had booked a Mazda Demio for 9 days and was glad to have been picked up from and dropped off at the airport. The service was friendly and efficient. I would definitely recommend this company. Thanks from Francie Warrington

Had the most wonderful experience with Christchurch Car Hire. Found them to be so very helpful, friendly, informative and he saved my holiday from being ruined. Honestly cannot recommend them high enough and I will be boasting about them to anyone who will listen. What more could you ask but to be treated so wonderfully and to get bargain price ended up saving over $300 by using Christchurch Car Hire. Don't delay book with them now!

M. T.

Great experience dealing with Todd and Steve, both nice and friendly . Hired a van from Christchurch to Queenstown, all went well and on time.

I just finished a trip from Christchurch to Queenstown with one of theirs cars.Unfortunately I hit the back of the car and I was really apprehensive about that , however they were very understanding and charged me a fair price for the damage. the guy who picked us up and took us to the airport is very polite and helpful. For sure I recommend his company. Thank you

V. H.

An absolutely brilliant experience from start to finish. I will most definitely be recommending Adrian to anyone requiring a rental car in Christchurch. A great price and fanastic service, you can't ask for more.

From the start, Steve at Christchurch Car Hire was extremely helpful and insightful. Not only did he educate/give us tips on the use of the car BUT he also gave us great travel advice and places to visit on our journey around the South Island. Overall our experience at CCH was the glue that held our whole trip together as we felt safe and encouraged by the team. We are so thankful and appreciative. Definitely a place to look into for you hire car needs.

C.

I've used Christchurch Car Hire twice now, and each instance has been outstanding. The quality of the vehicle and service has been nothing short of excellent. Will continue to use this company when travelling around the South Island. Cheers

Christchurch Car hire are great! I use them every time I visit Christchurch which can be two to three times a year. The guys are friendly and efficient and the cars have always been very reasonably priced, reliable and very economical. Highly recommend!!

C. J.

I have used Christchurch Care Hire for many years and always been 100% happy with the service. Good cars, reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Highly recommended. Carol Joyce

Top marks for Christchurch Carhire! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and provide a personalized service that simply doesn’t exist in the big name car rental companies. They were waiting for us when we arrived at the airport and it only got better after that. The car was immaculate and obviously well maintained. Great value for money. There’s no need to go anywhere else.

L. F.

I have had the most amazing time touring the South Island which was made possible by Christchurch Carhire. I wanted a small, economical, reliable car for one person over 28 days and I couldn’t have been happier. It was presented to a high standard, clean and everything worked as it should do. I loved the no nonsense approach and very pleased with the personal style of Adrian, Todd and Louise. I’ll be back for a further tour of the South Island and comforted that I can, from first experience, rely on Christchurch Carhire to put me on the road once more. Les/England

Recently hired a vehicle from Christchurch Carhire and I'm happy to submit my positive review. I'm a repeat customer, and have enjoyed nothing short of the best service from Adrian,Todd and the gang at Christchurch. This is good value and the vehicle standard is great. Our hired Prado met our needs perfectly and was a comfortable and easy to get about in. Thanks again guys.

R.

Absolutely brilliant car hire experience. The team were so helpful and friendly, definately a great first impression of New Zealand when we arrived. They collected us from the airport no problem, the car was ready, clean and wonderful to drive, we really enjoyed our trip. They also gave us some great tips for our visit to NZ. They made collecting and returning the vehicle a smooth process, dropping us back to the airport promptly as well. Will certainly use their services again as we intend on coming back next year for another holiday. Definately no need to go elsewhere, they have the range and affordable prices and will amaze you with the service and friendliness.

P. S.

Great value and great service!! Very customer service focused and a pleasure to deal with Adrian and Steve. Very easy to deal with Christchurch Car Hire and will definitely use them again. Also they were more competitive than the ‘big’ car rental companies.

D. M.

Thank you so much to the team at Christchurch Car Hire! Excellent service extended to making sure we had the best deal possible, great condition van and fabulous prices (very, very competitive). Our holiday was awesome, made better by our "silver bullet" van!

R. O.

Really efficient service, nice car, and very friendly. Will use again when next in Christchurch. I strongly recommend.

A. S.

Excellent service from start to finish. Steve and Adrian were very helpful with all out queries. The vehicle was really spacious and great for 7 of us. The ride was smooth throughout our road trip. Any issues we had were taken care of professionally by the team. Well definitely use their service again and highly recommend them! Thanks a lot!!

W. K.

Great service, down to earth, prompt pick up and return to airport.

My wife and I hired a budget car from Christchurch Carhire for 6 days and found the service and car hire rates to be on the money. The car was clean and very economical and the pick up and drop off service was seemless. Well done guys. We will see you on our next trip.

V. a. S. R.

Thank you very much Steve and Adrian for your very professional service. We hired the 10 seat mini bus and it was a joy to drive down to Queenstown and back over our 9 day skiing holiday. Prompt response to all my queries and nothing was too much trouble for them. Provided kids car seats and detailed information on what to see on the way down to Queenstown and on our return took all of us to the airport to catch our flight home. Service was above and beyond and was very competitively priced against the larger groups. (managed to save a couple of hundred dollars). Would not hesitate to recommend these guys to all who want to hire a car/van/minibus and we will definitely be back next ski season. Kind personal regards, Vern & Family. 26/9/19.......... :-)

On a recent trip, we had hired with a much larger car hire group. We flew in to Christchurch only to find that the car we had booked and paid for was not available. That company then asked us to stay in Christchurch overnight, and wait till the next day to get our car. We already had paid for accommodation a 4 hour drive away. I decided instead to ring the guys at Christchurch Car Hire. I thought there would be no chance we could get a 4wd with that little notice, but I rang anyway. Not only were they able to, they picked us up from the other competitors car hire location, within 5 minutes of calling! Everything was seamlesss easy and professional with Christchurch Car hire. The car was great, it was a great price, and they then offered us to merely drop the car back at the hotel we were staying at in Christchurch on our last night as well, saving us more time and trouble on the other end of the rental. I have used 2 other companies in Christchurch in the past, but from now on will never use anyone else. Their service is unbeatable!

We rented a 12 passenger van from one of the nicest gentlemen on the South Island! Steve was informative, helpful, encouraging, and fun to work with. He appreciated that our focus was on mountain biking, and made some great suggestions regarding routes and things to see! He also provided us with a fantastic van in terrific shape (looked new)...we would ONLY hire a car from this company next time on the South Island. Trustworthy company and a great van = great time in NZ!

A. L.

Great service as always. Friendly, reliable, efficient service and very well maintained/serviced/groomed vehicles. I'm a repeat customer and these guys are consistently great. I can not recommend them enough.. You will not be disappointed hiring from Christchurch Carhire.

D. M.

Fantastic service from the team. Rang them from the airport and they were round in 5 minutes with the car. Car was really clean and tidy. Dropped it back at the end of the hire and they had us back to the airport in no time. Car was a great price too, especially for a 1 day hire. Highly recommended. I'll definitely use them again.

B. B.

Amazing service. Great vehicle hire. This company has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Thankyou Todd for everything including the Navman extra free of charge. Totally recommend without hesitation. Thankyou again 😉👍

I rented through Christchurch Car Hire earlier this month, Jan 2016, and have nothing but good things t report. I arrived ahead of schedule and the team were very accommodating with making arrangements for me. The whole process was quick and easy and I felt like a valued customer dealing with their staff.

C. H.

I rented a car from them in the weekend just gone (Feb 2017). I could not fault the service, the car or the price! I called before booking to ask questions and they were incredibly helpful. The service when collecting and dropping the car off was fantastic, and the car was exactly what I needed. I will definitely be using them in the future and recommending them to all friends and family. They give a real personal touch and fantastic affordable prices!

A. H. S.

Hired a car while staying in Christchurch for 4 nights. Close to the airport The service for pick-up and drop-off was great. and very friendly staff. Highly recommended.

P. C.

Highly recommended. Our van was spotless. We were looking for a 8 seaters van with heaps of luggage room. They gave us a 10 seaters van and removed 2 seats and also gave us a little discount as we weren't using 10 seats. Very kind and helpful. Good value for money!

My wife and I are retirees from Western Australia and both in our late 70s. We have shared many holidays in New Zealand. We estimate we have travelled there 13 or 14 times since our first trip in 1989. Since 2005 however we have only stayed and travelled in South Island. It has always been our practice to rent a modest sedan for getting about and used self catering motel or holiday park accommodation. We do this out of preference for flexibility not solely for economy reasons. Until 2010 we always rented a vehicle from a small privately owned company in Christchurch - Trusty Car Rentals. We were there in 2010. When the initial damaging earthquake struck and returned again in late 2011. The owner of Trusty had been, like so many others, severely affected by the earthquake and subsequent downturn in visitors to Christchurch/South Island that he chose to cease trading and sell the business. We returned again in 2012 and opted to rent a vehicle from the new company which had acquired Trusty, namely, Christchurch Car Hire, located at 574 Wairakei Rd. Christchurch. They have provided us with our rented vehicle needs now on each of the four further visits we have made from 2012 until this year 2019 from which we have just returned after a month stay. On each occasion they have provided exactly the type of vehicle we have sought. The vehicles have always been impeccable. We have never had any form of mechanical problem (not even a puncture) despite some limited travel on unsealed roads and including a complete circumnavigation of South Island this last trip. The gentlemen we have dealt with - Adrian and Todd have always treated us with professional and friendly service extending their service to a prompt pickup from the airport on arrrival. We have been impressed particularly that this service has been provided at a rental rate showing very modest rise to that charged in 2012. We shall certainly seek their service on our next, as yet unplanned, trip and would happily recommend their service to others with needs similar to ours.

I would highly recommended Christchurch Carhire for hiring a rental care. The staff are so helpful and friendly. Nothing is a problem. The rates are very reasonable. Thank you very much for making hiring a car so easy.

M. A.

I am very satisfied with the services rendered by the Christchurch Carhire. Staff members were professional, cooperative and pleasant. I recommend everyone who would be visiting Christchurch NZ to consider them for the car hire. All the very best Christchurch Carhire !!! Mustafa (Australia)

Great car hire with friendly staff. Helpful with afterhours pickups and airport dropoffs. Our car was great for getting around Christchurch and seeing sites etc. Thanks so much. Will definately come again :)

J. P.

We hired an automatic Mercedes Benz Minibus 12 seats for a group of 11 adults who traveled from Sydney, Australia for a driving trip around the South Island from 20th to 29th Sep 2018. We picked up the vehicle from Christchurch and returned it at Greymouth railway station. Adrian from the Christchurch office coordinated our vehicle hire and it was a real pleasure to deal with him as he made the whole experience from day one, hassle-free. Your vehicle was in good condition, as a result, the long drive over nine days was comfortable. Thanks again for the efficient service.

K. H.

Absolutely fast effecient customer service, from when we arrived to drop off the guys here are friendly and welcoming. We hired a Subaru Forester it was clean and tidy and ran well great on petrol. My partner left his phone in the car and the guys quickly came back and returned it. Thank you all very much Brown-White Family

M. W.

I have used this service for many years. They are quick to collect from airport and get underway. Vehicles are as advertised so very cost effective. They aren't new but still reliable. After hours instructions have been precise. When booking online, you are only making a booking request so make sure you followup with booking confirmation. Highly Recommended.

L. S.

Great friendly staff. Great value. The Toyota Ractis looked tiny but when you open up it has lots of room for 4 adults and ALL luggage. Quick courtious service and a ride to the airport. Thank you CCH.

I spent a fair bit of time looking for minivans in New Zealand and they came in much cheaper than the competition... especially the big companies. Really great service and very friendly, no-nonsense staff, with pickup from the airport being very prompt.

B. M.

All the guys at Christchurch Carhire were the most helpful chaps we have met for a long time. The car took us 1729 kms around the South Island with no problems. We would recommend them to all our friends.

J. S.

Quick efficient service, nice car, and very friendly. Will use again when next in Christchurch. Would recommend.

M. B.

I have used this family based firm every time I travel to the South Island. They listen to what I want and provide the right vehicle. The guys are prompt with their pick up times and are always pleasant, friendly and straight forward with the information that I need to know. I have traveled at some early hours and on weekends and it is never a problem for them.

D. P.

(Translated) We were very happy to rent a car from Christchurch Carhire. They were very friendly and good service from beginning to end ,including their response to my questions on email. Very reasonable price, too. I would recommend to everyone!! Christchurch Carhire near the airport can be rented with a debit card and the price is reasonable. The procedure was simple when returning. All three staff were friendly and not new cars, but the maintenance was good and there were no problems. M&K (Original) We were very happy to rent a car from Christchurch Carhire.
