Partner with Jimny Rentals

We are Christchurch-based and rent Suzuki Jimnys for South Island trips. We like working with people who create better travel experiences, whether that is through photos, guides, places to stay, or things to do. If that sounds like you, get in touch via our contact page. You can also see our camping and vehicles to understand what we offer, or check the FAQ for common questions. Pickup is from Christchurch or Queenstown.

Partner FAQ

Do you pay for collaborations?

It depends on the project. Sometimes we offer vehicle access or other support in exchange for content. For paid work we are upfront about budget. Tell us what you need and we will say what we can do.

Can I borrow a Jimny for a shoot?

We consider it case by case. Send us who you are, what you want to shoot, and when. We cannot promise availability but we do work with photographers and creators when the fit is right.

Can you share our accommodation or tour?

We might include you in planning content or maps if it fits our audience. Get in touch with a short pitch and we will let you know.

What rights do you need for photos?

We usually ask for usage rights for our website, social channels, and marketing. We are happy to agree credit and limits. We do not need full buyout unless we commission and pay for a specific shoot.

How do you credit creators?

We credit by name and link where we use your work (e.g. on the site or in captions). We can agree the exact wording when we work together.

Do you work with international creators?

Yes, if you are travelling to the South Island and your content fits. Timing and vehicle availability still apply.

How fast do you reply?

We aim to reply within a few business days. If it is time-sensitive, say so in your message.

Can we do long-term partnerships?

Yes. We prefer working with people over time when the fit is good. Tell us if you are thinking ongoing content or repeat trips.
