Had the most awesome experience in the Tesla. Hit the nail on the head so to speak and It's a winner for me. Adam & Grace were absolutely Top Notch communication and helpful and very chill. Definitely will rent a vehicle off them one day and I highly recommend Dream Drives to everybody.

We hired a performance model Tesla for 10 days and it was amazing to drive and immaculate. Booking, pickup/drop off was straightforward and easy. Lovely owners, super flexible and very responsive. Overall it barely cost much more than going through a big rental agency with some crappy little petrol car and we saved on fuel! Highly recommend and would absolutely rent through here again!
We had an amazing adventure to Christchurch. The vehicle was beautifully presented and wonderful to drive. The communication was fast and easy. The pick up and drop off went extremely easily. We had a wonderful time and experience and are especially thankful for the added value of having carseats available.
Good service and friendly staff. Was extremely happy with the car we hired. Definitely recommend Dream Drives!!
So much fun driving the Tesla Model Y. Very affordable and awesome customer service. Highly recommend and will use the services in future again. Thank you Adam and Grace.
My experience with Dream Drives was great! The car was really nice to drive and was groomed to perfection. I'll definitely be hiring a car again and recommending friends to do so too. Awesome communication! Thanks Adam and Grace!
