Is it possible for renting a car to not just be *painless* but genuinely a *pleasure*? Yes.
Renting with Jimny NZ puts every other car rental to shame, and we'll be coming back to them again and again. Can't recommend more highly.

Rated 5.0 on Google
Renting a Jimny for our trip to South Island (Queenstown) was the best decision. I highly recommend Jimny NZ, all the processes were very smooth, communication with Grace and Adam was perfect too. The car was in great condition! I would definitely rent a Jimny again with them.
We had a great time with the Jimny a real easy fun car to drive and cheap as chips to run will be hiring again to do the Rainbow thanks guys your customer service is the best
Can't recommend highly enough! Picked us up from the airport and dropped us off. They made everything easy. The Jimny is perfect for a couple to explore New Zealand. In its fun to drive and capable to get you anywhere with less worries than driving a car. For example, you have to ford 9 streams to get to Rob Roy Glacier Track, I was very comfortable doing that in a Jimny rather than a Prius. Its small which is a plus for fuel efficiency and on narrow lanes of some of the roads. We drove over 2000 miles during our two weeks in NZ and I'd pick a Jimny from Grace and Adam again when we hopefully come back!
