Hiring a car should be a dream
Oh, the Places you'll go!
You're off the Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So... get on your way!

Fun Cars. Always.
When you're travelling NZ, do it in style.
We have a great range of rental cars to ensure you enjoy the drive. Whether you're touring around New Zealand or just staying in Christchurch, indulge, treat yourself and travel in style.
Queenstown Drop off Available
You can start your journal in Christchurch, explore the amazing West Coast or South Canterbury and make your way South. Then explore the beauty of Central Otago - Wanaka, Arrowtown, Cromwell and Queenstown. Then, you can drop your car off near the Queenstown Airport, and head home from there. We try to make it as easy as possible.
If you'd prefer to drop the car off somewhere else, we can work with you, please contact us to discuss.

About
Dream Drives is the project of Adam Crouchley - traveller, explorer, and car collector.
Hi, I'm Adam. I love cars, and I'm building a collection of great cars. I believe driving should always be fun. No matter the drive, I want to do 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, makes sense.
