Campervan Hire at Christchurch Airport (CHC)
Most campervan rental companies in Christchurch have their depots close to the airport, so picking up your van is super easy.
Some even offer free pick-up or drop-off, which is great if you're arriving by plane and want to hit the road right away.
Since Christchurch is a major starting point for South Island adventures, it’s simple to find a van near the airport and get going without any hassle.
Planning to Go ''Self-Contained''?
In New Zealand, self-contained means the campervan has everything you need to camp without needing a toilet or kitchen nearby. That includes a toilet, waste tank, and fresh water.
If you rent a self-contained van, you’ll be able to stay overnight in more places, especially in free camping areas surrounded by nature.
