Scenic mountain road in Queenstown, New Zealand

Our story

About Us

Born from a love of Queenstown's breathtaking roads and a belief that every South Island adventure deserves a vehicle that makes an unforgettable journey.

Who we are

Queenstown's Premium Car Rental

Ready To Book was founded by people who know Queenstown intimately — its roads, its seasons, and the kind of experience visitors deserve when they arrive in one of the world's most spectacular destinations.

We got tired of watching travellers settle for ordinary rental cars on extraordinary roads. The Crown Range, the Glenorchy highway, the road to Milford Sound — these routes deserve a vehicle that matches the moment. So we built a fleet that does exactly that.

Today our fleet is anchored with 2026 Tesla Model Y Long Range vehicles — modern, whisper-quiet, and perfectly suited to New Zealand's growing EV charging network. Premium SUVs and family vehicles are joining the fleet soon, giving every type of traveller the right option.

We bring that wealth of big-industry knowledge to our boutique collection of Queenstown vacation rentals, combining professional standards with a deeply personal touch.
