About this location
Auckland Airport (AKL) is New Zealand's main international gateway. Instead of queuing at the big international rental counters and paying an airport concession fee, book with Nomado — a locally owned Auckland airport rental company operating from a nearby depot with a fast complimentary transport. Perfect for travellers heading to Coromandel, Bay of Islands, Rotorua, Hobbiton or Waitomo.
The on-airport rental counters at AKL (Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Thrifty, Ezi, GoRentals) all add a location concession fee on top of their daily rate. Nomado's AKL rate is exactly the same as our depot rate — from $29/day, all-inclusive, no hidden add-ons.
After you collect your bags, follow the signs to the rental car pickup area outside the terminal. Give us a quick call and our complimentary transport takes about 15–20 minutes to reach our depot at 19 Tironui Road, Takanini, depending on time of day. From landing to keys usually takes around 45 minutes.
Pair our 7 seater Holden Captiva with free roof racks for a family trip to Coromandel or a surf run to Raglan. Grab a fuel-efficient economy car for a Bay of Islands or Hobbiton loop, or a mid-size SUV for the full North Island road trip. Unlimited kilometres are included on every AKL rental.
Late arrival at AKL? Early departure? Just tell us at booking. After-hours pickup and drop-off is available with advance notice — no midnight-arrival fees.
