Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Canterbury car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time, most reservations qualify for a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read your policy. Read through your itinerary for the details or visit our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Canterbury?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the top pick for many travellers to Canterbury. Offering superb mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to zipping around the city. A compact car has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a bit more comfort. Need a bit more legroom? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Canterbury with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Canterbury car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Canterbury?
At least 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should be aware of before you book your Canterbury wheels. If you're a young motorist, rental providers will likely charge an extra daily fee and limit the sorts of cars you can rent. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take your time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Canterbury?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between rental companies, so it's a good idea to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Canterbury?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we'll list fabulous offers from numerous quality providers.
Where can I find a Canterbury car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you're under 25 years in Canterbury often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It'd be wise to read the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to escape any surprise charges at the rental desk.
