Dream Drives was an absolute pleasure to rent from. All the way from the booking process to gaining knowledge about the car and the roads, Adam was absolutely helpful in my whole process of renting to returning. Would definitely recommend these guys as they have amazing cars and an even better attitude towards their customers. A+++

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!

Family of five, two weeks around the South Island! We rented the Mercedes V Shuttle and it was honestly the perfect choice. It was super comfy for the long drives, really spacious (plenty of room for everyone and luggage), and surprisingly economical on fuel which made a big difference over two weeks of exploring. Adam was who we dealt with and his communication was top notch from start to finish - quick replies, clear instructions, and just genuinely lovely to work with. The whole process felt easy and stress-free (unlike the larger rental companies) and the vehicle was exactly what we needed for a family road trip. Highly recommend Dream Drives and we'd absolutely 100% book with them again!

Amazing experience renting from Adam and Grace at Dream Drives!!! I rented the Range Rover Sport, which was immaculately maintained and "drove like a dream." Throughout the rental process, the team at DD were incredibly responsive, accommodating, and helpful. Pickup and drop off were seamless, taking mere minutes. Rental rates were extremely reasonable, especially given the quality of the cars and the attentive service. There is NO reason not to go with Dream Drives!! Would easily recommend over any other NZ rental company.

Had a wonderful time hiring out a Range Rover. The vehicle was very clean and ran beautifully. I was silly enough to curb one of the rims but Adam and Grace were great with communication and quickly found a solution. They were very respectful for such an annoying situation caused by me. 10/10 will be return customers when we are in the area next. Already eyeing up their collection of Suzuki Jimny's for our next adventure

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.
