After Hours Pick-up

Pick-ups outside these times can sometimes be arranged for an extra fee ($125 – $175), but you’ll have to check whether this service is available with us first. You will be charged this fee in addition to your daily campervan hire, so we recommend customers spend the first night in a hostel or hotel before collecting your vehicle – see more details on affordable accommodation options in Christchurch below.

Accommodation in Christchurch

There’s a great range of cheap accommodation options in Christchurch.

It’s safer to ensure you’re well rested before hitting the road, and will most likely work out cheaper if any unforeseen issues may arise due to late flights or missed connections etc.

Flight delays and traffic can sometimes impact on your ability to collect your vehicle at the agreed time, so plan well in advance and consider booking accommodation in Christchurch accommodation before you arrive. A few centrally located, and affordable, hostels are listed below.


How to get ‘to and from’ Escape Rentals in Christchurch

To keep our daily rates as low as possible, Escape Rentals doesn’t offer an Airport Transfer service. But we are pleased to provide a discounted cab fare.

If you are at Christchurch Airport, call First Direct Taxis from a landline once you have collected your bags and cleared customs. Their freephone number is 0800 50 55 55. We have a special deal of only $50 (cash only) for Escape Rentals customers.

Alternatively, Steve’s Shuttles who provides transfers from the airport to the city daily. Just call Steve and the team on 0800 10 10 21 to arrange pickup ($33 for 2 people cash, or $35 paid via credit card). $5 extra per additional passenger.

Uber is available in Christchurch also.

There is also the Metro bus for approx $8-9 per person. The Metro bus departs the airport terminal every 30 minutes during the day (from 6am to 10pm) and will drop you off at the Central Bus Exchange (the Escape Rentals depot is a short 10-15 minute walk from there).
