Top Tips for Hiring a Pickup Truck in Christchurch

  • With many of its attractions located a short drive from the city centre, seeking Christchurch Ute hire services during your tour is a wise decision. You will find it easy to access sites such as Hagley Park, a 5min drive from central Christchurch. The park is an excellent spot for the whole family to have fun. If you are in Christchurch during summer, soak in the city’s sunshine at Sumner Beach. It takes about 15min to drive from the city centre to the beach. If you fancy longer drives, schedule a picnic near Avon River. While buses take about 1 hour to access the site, driving requires approximately 30min. At the river, activities like punting are common.
  • Christchurch Airport receives international and domestic flights to Christchurch. The airport features a single terminal so travellers will find it easy to navigate the facility. The car rental centre, where Christchurch Ute hire companies has counters, is on the ground floor of the main terminal building. You are free to rent your favourite Ute from firms like Avis, Enterprise, Hertz, Sixt and Budget. Consider renting a car in advance through KAYAK to avoid missing out on your preferred vehicle, especially during peak months between August and December. Additionally, early reservations are ideal for car hire discounts that reduce travel expenses.
  • One challenge you can encounter when traversing Christchurch is driving on one-way streets. Overtaking becomes difficult and you may have to travel slower. Additionally, getting lost in the city’s maze of pathways is easy without a navigation system. However, most Christchurch Ute hire firms provide GPS systems. If you drive to the city’s outskirts, beware of gravel roads, which pose a problem for new drivers. You may also encounter animals, especially sheep, crossing the road. Note that most outskirt roads have no street lights. Still, you can drive on them as their reflective markings act as a helpful guide.
  • The rush in Christchurch peaks at different times of the day. These include between 07.00 and 09.00, 13.00 to 14.00, and the evening hours of 16.00 to 18.00. You may have to drive at 20 mph during rush hour. Among the roads you need to avoid due to congestion include Moorhouse Avenue. Also, Blenheim Road and Brougham Street may feature traffic jams. On weekends, you can enjoy more rides in your Christchurch ute hire vehicle as congestion is nearly non-existent.
  • 25% of our users found a pickup truck hire in Christchurch for $68 or less

FAQs About Hiring a Pickup Truck in Christchurch

Cons:

At pickup was informed Invercargil roads were all closed (which was untrue), so I may not be able to drop the car off at scheduled point, but if I made any changes to the dropoff location I would be charged extra by Budget. Very unhelpful, and very unfair to charge customers extra due to weather events outside of our control.

Pros:

We did not like anything but the online booking process. The rest was painful.

Cons:

Our flight came in late and we missed the pick up window. I emailed Budget to let them know, but this message didn't get through to the rental location. When we picked up our car, the woman was not very friendly and said we missed our window and it was given away. She said they had no cars left for us. She did not give us other options of where to rent or what to do in this situation. She did not show sympathy either. Do not rent from Budget. We went with Europcar in the end. They were nice and had a great car for us (and their counter was right next to the Budget one).

7.6 Good

Feb 2017

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was decent, ran fine and fulfilled our needs. It was nothing special or out of the ordinary, just a basic Toyota Corolla, but it did the job.

Cons:

We could've used some instructions on pickup and return - in a foreign country we didn't know if processes would all be the same. A little disappointed that the car was a Corolla when we booked "Camry or similar" since the Camry really is a significantly nicer car.

Pros:

I left my cell phone in the vehicle and didn't notice until I was on the airplane. I called the Christchurch Budget office and explained the situation. Toni McLean, the Budget agent there, secured my phone and sent me instructions on how to get it back. She then processed the FedEx transaction and I received my phone without issue. This was awesome! Thanks Toni

I had to go back in 3 times b4 leaving with the rental. It would have been really easy for them to give me all information 1st time. I'm also still waiting on my $200 bond back and when I dropped it off a guy met me outside and told everything was fine away I go and tht the bond would be redirected to me. I found this procedure very strange.

The car was what we expected for what it was. We had an early flight, so when dropping off at the chch office it wasn’t open at 6am (fair enough) but instead of offering a taxi number on the building to get to the airport maybe 1 or 2 designated spots at the airport could be a nice option. 1800-0900, otherwise drop at the office.

When we arrived to collect our booked car, I was told the booking had been cancelled & there was no car available. No communication to tell me the booking had been cancelled. The staff member was very unhelpful just saying that it wasn’t her problem because we booked through a 3rd party (Kayak). Luckily a super friendly person at another rental car company was able to help us out with a car. It did cost us $100 in taxis to get around between the airport, Hertz, then the new rental car company! All this because the car rental cancellation had not been communicated to me! Very frustrating. NEVER USING HERTZ OR KAYAK EVER AGAIN!!!

Pros:

This car was the perfect size to travel around with. It was large enough for our luggage but small enough that it was easy to park.

Cons:

Returning the car in Queens town was a little confusing because finding parking is extremely difficult. We were told they had a designated parking space but not until after we went to return the car. It isn't signed and just looks like the access for an alley.

Pros:

My car was mechanically sound, the reservation, purchase process was easy.

Cons:

A poor value, and Hertz was difficult and inflexible. My Holden Captiva was a below-average car. Hertz charged $90 USD daily. Hertz also refused to accept my car at Queenstown vs. Christchurch when travel plans changed. Will try another agency next time.

I didn' get the car I requested and paid for, Toyota Aqua Hybrid but the smaller Toyota Yaris Hybrid,which was not suitable for touring for the two week hire. Lacked comfort and road holding, I couldn't maintain road speed often letting others pass, breaking on steep decent was poor and with low gear engaged engine was hemoraging at 30kph.(vehicle only has drive and low) On a previous rental,in Cairns, a similar thing happened when I was given a smaller inferior vehicle. Not likely to return.

The car was very old with stains on the interior and a strange smell. The drop-off location provided was completely inaccurate, as was the included phone number which risked further delay in getting to my flight. On drop-off, they found a very tiny little nick in the windshield and insisted I stay longer to fill out a long form. They have a policy where they take out an additional $2000 from the credit card at the time of the rental so you can't easily challenge their charges later from out of the country, which feels predatory.

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing. Services were not rendered.

Cons:

This rental was the worst customer service experience of my life. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT BOOK WITH ECONOMY OR SCOTTIES. If I could give zero stars, I would. Kayak should drop this company immediately. While booking online, be warned, Economy serves as an umbrella company to many smaller companies in New Zealand. If you are unfortunate enough to have your reservation served by Scotties, be prepared for a terrible experience. In my case, after a flight arrival time change from 1000 to 1400, I called Scotties for a pickup (the only way to get picked up as they are not in the terminal and do not run a constant shuttle). After 2 calls and a 40 minute wait, the shuttle arrived and I was informed by the driver that my booking had been canceled (allegedly NZ law requires a company to only hold a reservation for 2 hours - other companies hold your car for 24 hrs), they had no additional cars available, they were sorry but they could not help me. There was no communication from the company that my reservation had been canceled despite them having access to my email, phone number, and the two phone calls I’d made upon arrival at the airport requesting to be picked up. Still in need of a car, I went online and booked a vehicle with Economy through Travelocity. My credit card was charged and I received a confirmation email at which point saw the company providing the car the was once again Scotties. I called again, now with a valid reservation in their required 2 hour window, and was told to wait 10-15 minutes, the shuttle was on the way. Again the shuttle arrived (35 minutes after the phone call) and again the shuttle driver refused to take me to their office stating that there had been a miscommunication and they did not have a car for me. I called the company back, (which was now the fourth long distance phone call for that day) they apologized for the inconvenience but offered no assistance or compensation for my time or troubles. I strongly recommend you never rent from “Economy” or Scotties. Their non-existent customer service is not worth the discounted prices for their vehicles. It’s a wonder a company like this stays in business. It’s quite obvious it’s terribly mismanaged and only makes me wonder the quality of the vehicles they rent to travelers. I most certainly will never book with them again and encourage others to do the same. There are several other options available that I highly recommend you explore. I ended up booking with Firefly, a partner company with Hertz and located in the terminal. Only slightly more expensive then Scotties, the car was ready as soon as I finished paying, the customer service was excellent, and there was no shuttle or long distance phone call required for pickup I emailed Scotties with a formal complaint and was answered with a shameful sarcastic response from Scott himself. They do not care the slightest bit about customer service. Avoid like the plage. Go elsewhere even if prices are higher.
