About this location

Car Rental Auckland — affordable, reliable, ready to drive

Whether you're flying in for a weekend in the City of Sails or kicking off a longer North Island road trip, Nomado makes renting a car in Auckland refreshingly simple. Choose from our small economy cars, mid size SUVs or 7 seater family vehicles — all with unlimited kilometres, insurance and unlimited drivers included as standard.

Pickup locations across Auckland

We operate from an East Auckland depot in Beachlands (86 Second View Avenue) and a South Auckland depot near the airport in Clevedon (130 Clevedon-Takanini Road). Both pickup options come with a fast handover so you can be on the road in minutes.

Best value Auckland car rental

Unlike the big international brands, Nomado is a local New Zealand business. We keep our fleet lean and our pricing transparent — what you see is what you pay. No hidden airport surcharges, no daily insurance add-ons, no nasty surprises at the counter.

Perfect for North Island road trips

Auckland is the gateway to some of New Zealand's most iconic drives — Coromandel, Bay of Islands, Rotorua, Hobbiton and Waiheke ferry combos. Our well-maintained late-model fleet is built for these journeys, with auto transmission and great fuel economy across every vehicle class.
