About Nomado
Affordable, flexible car rental with a simple booking experience and real local support — built by people who love road trips as much as you do.
At Nomado, we believe car rental should be easy, affordable, and stress free. We created Nomado to give travellers a simpler way to get around New Zealand — with reliable vehicles, clear pricing, and flexible options that suit real trips.
Whether you're arriving in Auckland, starting a South Island adventure from Christchurch, or planning a longer road trip, we're here to help you get on the road with confidence.
The people behind Nomado
Nomado is built by a small New Zealand team that genuinely understands travel, road trips, and the importance of having the right vehicle for the journey. We're not a faceless global chain — when you call, you reach the same people who service the cars, meet customers at the depot, and answer questions on the road.
We also run a campervan rental business under the Nomado brand, so we know what travellers actually need: flexibility, transparency, and a car that doesn't let you down halfway up Arthur's Pass. Every rental includes unlimited kilometres, standard insurance and unlimited drivers at no extra cost — because that's how we'd want to be treated.
Clear pricing from booking to pickup — no hidden fees, no surprises at the counter.
From economy hatchbacks to 7-seat 4WDs, we have the right vehicle for solo trips, families and groups.
A local team that cares about great service and smooth travel experiences from start to finish.
Our fleet is selected for the way people actually travel here — city driving, gravel detours, mountain passes and all.
