We toured the South Island for 22 days. Beautiful scenery at every turn in the road! There were great activities for our young adult children, who took advantage of suggestions from the drivers Paul and Wayne. We can’t wait to return to the North Island! Thanks!!

Private Driver Hire is the way to go! After flying to NZ from USA we were exhausted and hesitant to learn to drive on the 'other side' of the road. But Paul was amazing. He helped us even change our tour around a bit to see some better sights in less time. This is the importance of hiring a local. They know the drive times, best views and attractions. Seriously wished we would have booked with them for longer. I would have napped more! But my husband really enjoyed talking with Paul while I snoozed. Big hugs to Paul and Family. Call us when you come to America!!

We had a lovely experience in New Zealand with Private Driver Hire. Before the trip, Paul was responsive to our emails and provided a detailed itinerary to suit our travel schedule (we're from Singapore and went in early Dec!) During the trip, he shared lots of interesting things and was pretty accommodating to our preferences. We covered Christchurch, Hokitika, Franz Josef, Wanaka, Queenstown and Tekapo. Our favourite experience was at Milford Sound, and again Paul gave us more than enough info on what to expect prior to it. He was professional and friendly throughout the trip, and this vacation was a smooth and memorable one for us. Would highly recommend Private Driver Hire!

After researching wine tasting tours around Nelson we contacted Paul and arranged our trip with him .
Even though it was just after the Nelson flooding he was confident our day could still go ahead and he had put a lot of thought into our trip . He recommended Forsters for our lunch which was fantastic and we were able to sample wine from four different vineyards .
Thank you Paul for going over and above . Our group of eight had the best day .
Highly recommended .

Paul was easy going and accommodative & an excellent driver. You ought to be an excellent driver to steer those never ending winding curvy roads. He was keen to show off his beautiful country to us & that's what every tourist wants. He was courteous & he made sure we had an enjoyable experience right through. We can recommend him to anyone who is looking for a private hire car with a driver.
Thanks Paul :)
