Cheap Car Rental
Transparent low-cost car hire with core inclusions clearly explained before you book.
Compare the full rental terms, not only a headline rate. Nomado includes standard insurance, unlimited kilometres, approved additional drivers, normal New Zealand tolls, normal cleaning and mechanical roadside assistance. Optional and service charges are disclosed before booking or in the Rental Agreement.
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.
Standard insurance — included (Premium is optional at booking). Unlimited kilometres — drive Auckland to Wellington without watching the odometer. Unlimited approved drivers — share the wheel at no extra cost. Normal NZ toll road charges and normal cleaning — included. GST — already in the price you see. Mechanical roadside assistance — included; driver-caused call-outs are separate. Free airport transport — included for arranged collection and return.
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).
