About Us
Dream Drives is the project of Adam Crouchley - traveller, explorer, and car collector.
Hi, I'm Adam. I love cars, and I'm slowly building a collection of great cars. I believe driving should be fun, always. No matter the drive, I want to be doing it in a car that makes travelling more enjoyable.
I'm also an explorer. I love getting into nature, running, hiking, or 4WDing. The South Island of New Zealand has so much to offer.
I'm passionate about sharing the beautiful nature of the South Island with visitors to our region. Hiring great cars to people like me, just makes sense.

What are the terms around charging and milage?

The car comes with a mobile charger to charge at your accommodation, and all around New Zealand, there are now thousands of fast chargers to charge on the go. More info about the charging network here: https://charge.net.nz/
