Why a Mercedes

Comfort that earns its keep over long days

Built for distance

Quiet, composed, and comfortable — exactly what you want for Christchurch to Queenstown, the Lindis Pass, or a week on the coast.

Space when you need it

The V-Class seats seven with real luggage room — ideal for families and groups. The AMG GLB 35 keeps things compact with a little extra performance.

Presentable and premium

A Mercedes suits business travel, special occasions, and travellers who simply want the good car — not the default airport row.

Fully insured, well kept

Every hire includes standard insurance (subject to excess), and our fleet is maintained and road-legal — Warrant of Fitness always current.

Handover

Christchurch pickup, airport-friendly

We arrange concierge handover to suit your arrival — typically a short ride from Christchurch Airport. Tell us your flight, we confirm the place and time, and you’re on the road.

Questions

Before you book

Which Mercedes models can I hire in Christchurch?

Our Mercedes-Benz fleet includes the Mercedes-AMG GLB 35 (a compact, quick AMG SUV) and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class (a spacious seven-seat people-mover, ideal for families and groups). Each has its own page with photography, specs, and the exact daily rate.

Is a Mercedes good for a South Island road trip?

Yes. Both models are built for distance — comfortable, quiet, and confident on the open road. The AMG GLB 35 suits couples and small families who want a little performance; the V-Class is our pick for larger groups and luggage on long touring routes like Christchurch to Queenstown.

Where do I pick up the Mercedes?

We arrange concierge handover at a location that works for you in Christchurch. For airport arrivals we are airport-friendly — handover is typically a short ride from Christchurch Airport, and we confirm the exact details after you book.

What do I need to hire with Dream Drives?

A valid full driver’s licence (held for at least two years for most vehicles), a credit card for the flat NZ$1,000 bond hold, and to meet our minimum age requirement. International visitors need a valid licence in English or an approved translation.

Can I take the Mercedes to Queenstown or Tekapo?

Yes. Our Mercedes fleet is suited to South Island road trips including Queenstown, Lake Tekapo, and beyond. Standard hires return to Christchurch; one-way hires can be discussed.

How much does it cost to hire a Mercedes?

Pricing moves with season, model, and trip length, and multi-day hires often improve the daily rate. See each vehicle page for its current from-price, or check availability for your dates.
