  • We looked at a few car rentals and rang a few, however luck was on our side — when we rang Hari it was like talking to an old friend. His professional yet friendly, honest, open manner was, in a word, exemplary. When we return to Christchurch we'll be contacting Hari for our car rental. Thank you for the lovely clean late-model car. Well done on impeccable service.

  • Hired a Kia Seltos — a relatively new and nice car at an affordable price. They are located at the motel, so it's a great bulk option if someone is looking for both a stay and car hire together.

  • Best car hire experience I've had in Christchurch. The airport pickup was seamless — Hari was waiting for us right on time after a long flight. The SUV was spotless, late-model, and exactly what we needed for our South Island road trip. Unlimited kilometres made the whole journey stress-free. Highly recommend Hasset Car Rentals to anyone visiting Christchurch.

  • We booked the Stay & Drive package with Bealey Avenue Motel and it was the perfect combination. No queues, no stress — the car was ready at the motel when we arrived. Such a smart idea for travellers. The car was clean, modern, and great value. We drove all the way down to Queenstown and back without a single issue. Will 100% use Hasset Car Rentals again on our next trip to New Zealand.

  • Excellent Christchurch car rental experience from start to finish. Booked a compact family car for a week and the price was very competitive — much better than the big chains at the airport. Free city delivery to our accommodation was a massive bonus. The AA Roadside Assistance cover gave us real peace of mind on the open road. Friendly, efficient, and genuinely good value. Don't hesitate to book with Hasset.
