There is no single reason travellers choose self drive car hire Christchurch. Some of the most common occasions include:

Be Safe on Snow Road
Travelling during winter calls for the right vehicle and equipment. Go QTown Car Rentals offers Snow Chains on request for customers visiting ski fields and alpine regions across New Zealand’s South Island.
For the best winter driving experience, choose one of our 4WD or AWD SUVs. Simply let us know your travel dates and destinations when booking, and our team will help you select the right vehicle and arrange snow chains if required.

5-8 Seater Cars, SUVs & People Movers Available
Christchurch Airport is the busiest airport on the South Island, and most travellers land here first before heading out to explore. This makes Christchurch Airport car hire one of the most searched services among tourists and business travellers. From here, you can drive to almost any part of the South Island — Queenstown, Wanaka, Kaikōura, or the West Coast — all within a few hours behind the wheel.
Picking up a rental car in Christchurch, travellers can collect right after landing, saves time and removes the stress of arranging transport later. With a car in hand from day one, your holiday or work trip starts smoothly, without any waiting around.

I found this company on Facebook and the car is so nice! I just didn’t know I couldn’t use the car navigator. But the phone holder and C-type are so useful and free! And the service is so great because they reply so fast and are flexible, and I could understand the information easily. Thank you so much for everything!Posted on Google![]()

Awesome communication and service. Very flexible when I mucked up the booking too. Reasonably priced car rental for pick up in Christchurch and drive to Queenstown! Car was perfect for us as a group of 7 - the Vellfire aka purple disco machine served us well! Thanks so much!Posted on Google![]()

I had such a great experience renting a Toyota RAV4 with GoQTown! The car was super comfortable, clean and felt very safe and reliable. It was perfect for my trip and took me all the way to Lake Tekapo. I’m really happy with the service, everything was easy and smooth. I would definitely recommend this company if you’re looking to rent a car in New Zealand! 10/10
