Cheap Christchurch Airport Rental
The honest alternative to airport counter rates. Free transport from the terminal to your car.
Christchurch Airport is the gateway to South Island road trips. Nomado's all-inclusive car hire starts at $29/day — a fraction of what the big-brand counters charge once you add insurance and driver fees.
We don't rent an airport counter. Standard insurance, unlimited kilometres, unlimited approved drivers, normal New Zealand toll road charges, normal cleaning, GST and mechanical roadside assistance are included. Optional and separately chargeable items are disclosed before booking or set out in the Rental Agreement.
Land, follow your arranged transport instructions, collect the car at our Hornby South depot, and head towards Kaikōura, Mt Cook or Queenstown. Ask about any optional equipment you need before booking.
Choose your dates and tell us you're arriving at Christchurch Airport. We'll send instructions for the free transport to our depot at 305 Marshs Road, around 15–20 minutes away depending on traffic.
