Christchurch, New Zealand: minivan rental hints
Typical models of the minivan/minibus class in Christchurch are: Ford Galaxy 7 seater, Toyota Commuter, Toyota Minibus, Toyota Tarago 8 Seater and Kia Carnival.

Standard capacity of a minivan in New Zealand is up to 9 people (8+1 formula), traditionally providing seven or eight passenger seats. The capacity of a minibus may vary from 9 to 15 people.

Please note, that in order to rent in New Zealand a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.

Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Christchurch.

Before leaving the parking garage in Christchurch, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.

OrangeSmile.com wishes you a great driving experience on the roads of New Zealand!

Driving Advices for New Zealand – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
The international driving license can be used for up to 12 months. Drivers, who plan to stay in the country for more than a year, will need to apply for local driving license. The fine for driving without the license ranges from 400 to 1,000 NZD.
Left driving is, without a doubt, the most important distinguishing feature of New Zealand's roads. Therefore, foreign drivers may find it quite unusual to drive in the country. However, there are not so many cars on the roads of New Zealand, so it usually takes short time to adapt to the new rules.
Several simple hints can help psychologically adjust to the new traffic conditions within a couple of days. First of all, you should remember that the driver’s right hand should be approximately at the center of the road, and the rear-view mirror is on the left. Cars that move on the right have the advantage on local roads.
