Embed Google reviews "I recently had the pleasure of renting a Tesla Model Y for six days and a Jimny for one day from Dream Drives, and I must say, my experience was exceptional, largely thanks to Adam, who provided outstanding service throughout the rental process. The booking was easy as everything is online - Adam and Grace answered all my questions even before making the booking. They share all the details of the child seats beforehand which was an important factor for my trip. Adam was incredibly courteous and helpful. He went above and beyond by coming to assist me at 10:00 PM to help transfer child seats from the Tesla to Jimny, which was a huge relief. Both vehicles were in pristine condition, both the Tesla Model Y and Jimny felt brand new. During my rental of the Jeep, Adam kindly took the time to charge the Tesla. Overall, the service I received was top-notch, and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services next time I visit Christchurch. Thank you Adam and Grace!"

About Us
You're planning a trip. Let's make it the best trip it can be!
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.
