Budget Car - Mazda Demio 2012–2014

Looking for the cheapest car rental in New Zealand? Our Mazda Demio is it. A nimble 5-seat hatchback with auto transmission and great fuel economy, it's the perfect choice for solo travellers, couples or anyone who just needs a reliable cheap rental to get around. Available from both our Auckland and Christchurch depots from $29/day all-inclusive.

Why the Demio is our go-to budget car

It's compact enough to park anywhere around Auckland or Christchurch, light on fuel (around 7L/100km), and proven reliable — these are the 2012–2014 models, all fully serviced between rentals. For city breaks and shorter trips it's hard to beat the value.

What's it like to drive?

Auto transmission, light steering, great visibility — even nervous drivers feel comfortable in the Demio. It comfortably seats four adults (five at a squeeze) and fits one large suitcase plus carry-on in the boot.

Best uses

City rentals in Auckland or Christchurch. Short weekend trips. Solo travellers and couples on a budget. Backpackers who want a real car instead of a campervan. Anyone doing a one-way North–South Island trip on a tight budget.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Mazda Demio good for long road trips?+

It's fine for shorter trips and one-way journeys, but for a full North or South Island loop with luggage we'd suggest the Nissan Note (Economy) or Mitsubishi Outlander (SUV) for the extra comfort and boot space.

Is there a younger-driver fee?+

No. Drivers 21+ pay the same rate. Minimum age is 21 with a full licence held 12+ months.
