Cheap Car Rental
The most transparent low-cost car hire in New Zealand. No add-ons at the counter, no fine print.
Most 'cheap' car rentals in New Zealand aren't really cheap — that $19/day headline turns into $80/day after insurance, kilometre limits, airport fees, second-driver charges and admin fees. Nomado is different. Our headline price is the price you pay, with insurance, unlimited kilometres and unlimited drivers all included.
We're a small, locally owned NZ business based in Auckland and Christchurch. Our fleet is lean, our overheads are low, and we pass that on. Unlike the big international chains, we don't pay franchise fees or airport-counter rents, so we can keep prices down without cutting corners on the vehicles themselves.
Insurance — included (upgrade to premium insurance at booking). Unlimited kilometres — drive Auckland to Wellington without watching the odometer. Unlimited additional drivers — share the wheel on long road trips at no extra cost. GST — already in the price you see. 24/7 roadside assistance — included on every rental. Airport pickup — no surcharge at Auckland or Christchurch airports.
Every vehicle in our fleet is a late-model Japanese import — Mazda Demio, Nissan Note, Mitsubishi Outlander — fully serviced between every rental, with WoF and rego up to date. We deliberately run a smaller fleet so we can maintain it properly.
Book at least 14 days ahead — last-minute prices rise. Rent for 7+ days for our weekly rate. Rent for 28+ days for our long-term rate (often under $20/day). Avoid the international holidays (mid-December to early January is our peak).
