Normal Hours Drop Off - Christchurch Airport

Unfortunately the Covid-19 nationwide lockdown means our depot is closed. To return your vehicle, please follow the instructions below.
Ensure your vehicle is full of fuel and in a reasonable condition – due to the uncertain nature of the timeline we ask that you remove any food/perishable items from your vehicle before parking it.
Park in the Rental Car Return Car Park at Christchurch Airport.
Taking photographs of the vehicles condition is recommended, including the fuel level, for reference if any queries were to arise upon check-in at a later date.
Return the vehicles keys to the drop box at the Avis / Budget kiosk inside the car park.
Once these steps have been followed your vehicle will be checked in and processed as soon as permitted. We will contact you with any issues at that stage.
