Charging your Tesla while you're touring the South Island is very easy, there are lots of public chargers in every city and town, and even chargers in most little towns.
Keeping your Teslas charged while you’re adventuring is easy.
Start your journey 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.
Hi, I'm Adam. I love beautiful cars and fun road trips. Driving should always be fun. No matter where you're heading, you should do it in a vehicle that helps make travelling memorable. e experience of hiring a car while travelling needs to be more enjoyable—both the handover and the car. Too often, you book a nice car online, and when you arrive to pick it up, they give you something far worse. It's happened to me, far too often, and it drives me nuts.
That's why I've set up Dream Drives. We do better.
We have Teslas, Suzuki Jimnys, Range Rovers and a Toyota GR Yaris available for hire.
Hirers need to be at least 25 years old to hire a car from us.
When you pick an EV car up from us, it'll be fully charged. We ask that the car comes back to us with at least 75% charge, or else we charge a $35 fee.
A standard hire allows 250km per day, based on the average of the full booking. If you hire for 10 days, you can travel 2500km within the allowance. If you go over the 250km/day allowance, there is a $0.40 per/km charge.
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/
