What happens if I need to cancel my Ashburton car reservation?
We've got good news! You should get a complete refund if you cancel at least six hours before the scheduled pickup time.

What types of cars can I rent in Ashburton?
Affordable, easy to drive and great on mileage, it's no coincidence that compact cars are the most sought-after rental category in Ashburton. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Ashburton?
Ashburton has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Organize a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider area. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • Christchurch is around 80 kilometers from Ashburton. Top-rated tourist attractions like Lyttelton Harbour deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Ashburton?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and above can rent a car in Ashburton. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, expect an extra fee. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before you book. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Ashburton?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in Ashburton?
In Ashburton, as with all of New Zealand, motorists drive on the left. Go slower to build confidence driving on the left if you've never done it before.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Ashburton?

Where can I find an Ashburton car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found an Ashburton outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just keep in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
