If you’re looking for cheap car hire in Christchurch, you should consider a compact vehicle as it will make driving on narrow roads easier. In addition to this, you will also benefit from being able to park in tighter parking spaces. For those that want to experience driving in the English countryside, you should look for a vehicle such as an SUV, as these offer enhanced handling on winding roads and more traction on hills.

It’s important to follow the speed limits, or you might be stopped by the police. Adhering to the speed limits also reduces the risk of an accident. In Christchurch and other urban areas, the top speed you can do is 30 mph. Some areas might also reduce the speed limit to 20 mph, especially around schools and hospitals. On rural roads that aren’t motorways, the maximum speed is about 60 mph, whereas on dual carriageways and motorways you must not exceed 70 mph.
