South Island Private Touring for Travel Agents & DMCs
Dream Drives provides boutique private touring and driver services across the South Island of New Zealand for international travel agents, DMCs and tour operators. We specialise in Christchurch, Tekapo, Mt Cook and Queenstown, working from your itinerary and representing your brand.
Think of us as your on-the-ground partner: owner-operated, flexible, and focused on keeping your clients happy while making your job easier.
Who We Work With
- Overseas travel agents sending FIT and honeymoon clients to New Zealand.
- DMCs needing a reliable, boutique ground partner in the South Island.
- Tour operators looking for flexible, owner-operated private touring.
We’re happiest working with a small number of partners who value communication, reliability and personal service.
How We Work With Agents
Simple, transparent and itinerary-first. You keep control of the client and program – we handle the driving.
- You send the itinerary as you’d present it to your clients.
- We sanity-check daily drive times, route, and realistic sightseeing stops.
- We recommend the most suitable vehicle and confirm indicative pricing.
- We stay in touch with you (or your ops team) – not your client – unless you ask otherwise.
White-Label & Branding
- We’re happy to operate quietly in the background under your brand.
- We can refer to your company as “our partners” or avoid brand names completely.
- Where practical, we can even apply your logo to the vehicle for a fully branded experience.
If you have a brand style guide or specific greeting protocols, we’re happy to incorporate them.
