Nomado Car Rental NZ

Long Term Rental

Long term car rental NZ from $20/day

Monthly and multi-month car hire for working holidays, relocations and extended Kiwi adventures.

Renting a car in New Zealand for 4 weeks or more? You shouldn't be paying the daily tourist rate. Nomado's long-term rental rates are designed for working holidaymakers, contractors on assignment, families between homes, and anyone planning an extended NZ road trip. From 28 days onwards, prices drop significantly — often under $20 a day for a budget car, all-inclusive.

Who long-term rental is perfect for

Working holiday visa holders touring NZ for 3–12 months. Contractors and consultants on a multi-month NZ posting. Retirees doing a long Kiwi summer. Families between rentals or relocating. Digital nomads basing themselves in Auckland or Christchurch.

How the pricing works

Our long-term rate kicks in automatically at 28 days. The longer you book, the lower the daily rate — 3-month rentals get our best price. Pay 20% deposit at booking and the balance monthly, or pre-pay for an additional discount.

Mid-rental servicing and swaps

For rentals over 3 months we book the vehicle in for a free service at the halfway point. Need a vehicle change mid-rental (e.g. swap a budget car for a 7-seater when family visits)? Easy and at no extra cost.

What's still included

Everything that's included in our daily rentals — unlimited kilometres, standard insurance, unlimited additional drivers, 24/7 roadside assistance, GST. Snow chains free in winter. Optional premium insurance available.
