You’re landing in Christchurch off on an adventure. How are you travelling? Choose comfort. Choose safety. Choose a Tesla rental car.
Whether planning an adventurous road trip around the stunning South Island or exploring the vibrant city of Christchurch, our Tesla Model Y and Model 3 rental cars are the perfect blend of luxury, performance, and environmental sustainability.
There are two types of charging cables in the vehicle's boot. One is for domestic use, and the other is for city roadside charging.
There are three ways to charge your Tesla rental car:
1. A Tesla Supercharger - this is the fastest, but most expensive way, to charge a Tesla.
2. A public charger - our cars all have a cable suitable for using public chargers. This is the best way to charge while you're shopping or relaxing in places like the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools.
3. Charge at your accommodation. We also provide a charger for this, which will plug into a regular power point. This is the slowest way to charge, but the cheapest.
Charging times are determined by the charging station's power capacity and the charging power of the vehicle.
With superchargers, you will recover 100km of driving within 10 minutes.
On public charging stations, you will recover 100km of driving within 90 minutes.
On a domestic socket, you will recover 100km of driving within 7 hours.
Charging costs varies across locations. For information specific to your location, please refer to the map here.
We will provide you with a key card. Place the key card on the circle near the driver's window to lock/unlock the vehicle from the outside. The Tesla app does not give you access to the rental vehicle's remote control features.
We have Tesla Model Ys because they are incredibly spacious. You can comfortably have 5 adults in the car, with 3-5 bags in the boot. There is also more storage space in the front (frunk).
Yes, all standard features are enabled on our Tesla rental cars. This includes Spotify, Advanced Autopilot and all the Premium Connectivity features. https://www.tesla.com/support/connectivity

Dream Drives Car Rental was set up by me, Adam Crouchley. I'm passionate about sharing Christchurch and our beautiful South Island, and I think it should be explored in a suitable vehicle. So, I’ve put together a fleet of cars that are perfect for exploring New Zealand.
Whether you need a car for a few days or want to tour New Zealand, I'd love to help.
