Hired 2 door Jimny (N04) with rooftop tent + equipment for a two week South Island adventure in 2025. Fantastic little car and no dramas getting around and so easy to park! Did the full loop from CHCH to Lake Pukaki, Dunedin, Milford Sounds, Wanaka, Nelson, Kaikoura, and then back to CHCH. Tent, equipment, and Jimny all functional and clean. Adam and Grace were wonderful to interact with.
Easy pick-up and drop-off about a 10 minute Uber from Queenstown Airport.
Optional snow chains $50 per booking — select them in the booking process. Ideal when conditions may require chains to ski fields and alpine roads.
Great for Arrowtown, Glenorchy, Wanaka, scenic loops and lake viewpoints.
Finish in Christchurch if your trip heads north, ask us about one-way drop-off.

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
We used Jimny NZ on our recent trip around the south island. Easy to book, pick up and drop off. Grace and Adam were very responsive on emails. Would highly recommend.
We had the most fantastic experience with Jimny Rentals. Grace and Adam contacted us before picking up our Jimny with highly detailed information and kept us updated throughout and after the rental. Our Jimny was in perfect condition and was the best way to explore Queenstown and to go on roadtrips with. We would highly recommend renting a Jimny from Grace and Adam for your NZ trip!
