All I can say is we had a great experience with Jimny NZ. Collection and returning of the car was straight forward and super easy. Adam and Grace were prompt in their replies and helpful! The condition of the car was excellent and we had no problems driving all around south island.
Funny enough we got attached to the car after spending 12 days with it and got sad when it was time to return it. A jimny in Singapore costs $150k!! So getting a taste of it in NZ has been a dream come true!
Nevertheless, if you're travelling as a couple, I'd highly recommend renting out a jimny from Jimny NZ to explore south island!

Renting a Jimny for our first trip through the South Island in NZ was the best decision we've ever made! The experience was amazing!
