We're in a bit of a pickle here as our designated driver had to leave due to a family emergency, leaving us stranded in Lake Tekapo with a rented car that needs to be returned to Christchurch.

If anyone is heading towards Christchurch and wouldn't mind driving our car there, we'd be eternally grateful! Of course, we're more than happy to cover all expenses like gas and snacks for the journey.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch in advance!

You can try posting your request on the Lake Tekapo Community Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/share/7BKAhxfef8221VRM/

Someone on there could possibly help you.

Failing that you could also try the Twizel, Omarama and Otematata Facebook groups - you may find a family with a holiday home in any of these towns who may be heading back to Christchurch in the coming days, passing through Tekapo on the way. Definitely worth a shot.

Good luck!

You could try asking at the YHA hostel, or go to the intercity bus stop to see if one of the passengers prefers to drive. I think the bus stops for lunch in Tekapo.
When do you want to go? Are you planning to be passengers in the vehicle?

Remember to add the driver to the rental agreement.

I live close by and am also an admin on the various community pages - and have some staff that commute to Christchurch at the weekend. Send me a private message and I'll give you my contact details - sure we can help.
