About this location
Looking for cheap car rental in Auckland? Nomado offers all-inclusive car hire from East Auckland and Auckland Airport (AKL) starting at just $29/day. Auckland is the gateway to some of New Zealand's most iconic drives — the Bay of Islands, Coromandel Peninsula, Hobbiton, Rotorua, Waitomo and Raglan are all within an easy day's drive. We make it easy with a well-maintained late-model fleet, unlimited kilometres, insurance included and a fast pickup from our Beachlands or Clevedon depot, plus a complimentary shuttle from Auckland Airport.
Unlike the big Auckland rental car brands, our advertised rate is the rate you pay. Every Nomado Auckland rental includes: unlimited kilometres (no per-km charge for long North Island loops), standard third-party and vehicle insurance ($3,000 excess, reducible to $500 with premium cover), unlimited additional drivers at no extra cost, GST, and a full-to-full fuel policy. No airport concession fees, no compulsory insurance upsell, no admin surprises.
Our Clevedon depot at 130 Clevedon-Takanini Road is about a 20-minute complimentary shuttle from Auckland Airport. Unlike the on-airport counters, Nomado doesn't charge an airport concession fee — the same $29/day rate applies whether you pick up in East Auckland or from AKL. See our dedicated Auckland Airport car hire page for shuttle times and after-hours pickup.
The Mazda Demio budget car is perfect for solo travellers and couples doing a Auckland–Wellington loop. Our mid-size Mitsubishi Outlander SUV handles the family and gear for a Coromandel or Rotorua adventure. For groups, ski trips to Ruapehu, or surf runs to Raglan, the 7 seater SUV with roof racks (surfboards and snowboards all fit) is the go-to choice.
Nomado is a New Zealand owned and operated rental car company. We're not a franchise, so we don't pay a percentage to a global brand — those savings go straight into your daily rate. You'll pay less than Apex, Hertz, Budget, GoRentals, Ezi or Europcar for a like-for-like Auckland rental, and you'll deal with the same small team from booking to drop-off.
Auckland → Coromandel (2.5 hrs): Cathedral Cove, Hot Water Beach and white-sand bays. Auckland → Hobbiton & Rotorua (2–3 hrs): Middle-earth, geothermal parks and Māori cultural experiences. Auckland → Bay of Islands (3 hrs): 144 sub-tropical islands and Waitangi Treaty grounds. Auckland → Waitomo Caves (2.5 hrs): glowworm caves and blackwater rafting. Auckland → Raglan (2 hrs): NZ's best left-hand surf break. Auckland → Taupo & Tongariro (3.5 hrs): the Alpine Crossing and a giant volcanic lake.
Doing an inter-island NZ road trip? Nomado offers one-way rentals between our Auckland depots (Beachlands and Clevedon) and Christchurch (Hornby). The one-way fee is a flat rate agreed at booking — no drop-off surprises. You can also take our vehicles on the Interislander or Bluebridge ferry from Wellington (just let us know at booking).
The 7 seater SUV with free roof racks is the Auckland local's choice — surfboards to Raglan, Piha or Manu Bay in summer, and snowboards/skis to Whakapapa or Turoa on Mt Ruapehu in winter (3.5 hrs south). No extra charge for the racks. See our NZ surf spots guide and best time to visit NZ guide for the full picture.
