What to do in Christchurch

Your car hire from Christchurch Airport is the beginning of something wonderful, in the picture-postcard South Island. There are many possible directions to consider, and New Zealand’s safe and well-maintained roads can take you anywhere. But remember to stick to the posted speed limits and stay on the left-hand side of the road!

To the north, the highlight is the Marlborough wine region and the beautiful rugged coastline which forms Marlborough Sounds and Abel Tasman National Park. Nelson is the biggest city north of Christchurch and is known as a sunny and friendly centre, serving as a hub for outdoor activities in the area.

To the south in your Christchurch Airport car hire, the famous lakeside Queenstown sits in a cradle of stunning mountain ranges. The ‘Adventure Capital of the World’ and a charming tourist town, it makes a great destination for any visitor. Also in this direction is the jaw-dropping Fiordland National Park where you can take a boat tour on Milford Sound, and the student city of Dunedin. It’s here where you’ll find the Scottish spirit alive and well.

Head west out of Christchurch in your car hire to cross the main divide, the Southern Alps. The scenery is out of this world, while on the other side it gets even better. The wild west coast is desolate and provocative, home to empty, driftwood-strewn beaches, braided rivers and natural attractions – including two glaciers and the famous Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki.
