Nomado Car Rental NZ

7 Seater Rental

7 seater rental NZ from $59/day — room for the whole crew

Automatic 7-seat SUVs for families and groups. Insurance, unlimited kilometres and unlimited drivers included.

Travelling as a family of 5, 6 or 7? Don't squeeze into a sedan or pay double for two cars. Nomado's 7-seater rentals are the most affordable way to keep everyone (and the luggage) in one comfortable, automatic SUV. We typically rent Mitsubishi Outlander or similar models from 2018 or newer — proper 7-seat SUVs with 4WD and roof racks, not a cramped 5+2.

Why rent a 7-seater for your NZ road trip?

New Zealand's drives are long and scenic, but they're long. A real 7-seater means everyone has a proper seat, climate control reaches the back, and there's still room for suitcases. Much cheaper than renting two separate cars, and you all stay together.

Perfect for

Multi-generational family trips, friends' group road trips, wedding parties needing airport transfers, sports teams travelling between events, and anyone with school-age kids and grandparents in tow.

Easy pickup, easy parking

Pickup is available at our Auckland depot at 19 Tironui Road and Christchurch depot at 305 Marshs Road. Free transport connects each airport with its nearby depot. Our 7-seaters fit standard NZ parking spaces, unlike larger 12-seat vans.

7 seater rental Christchurch

Christchurch is our busiest 7-seat pickup for South Island family trips — Tekapo, Mt Cook, Wanaka and Queenstown. Free transport connects Christchurch Airport with our depot at 305 Marshs Road, around 15–20 minutes away depending on traffic.

7 seater rental Auckland

From Auckland a people mover suits Coromandel, Rotorua, Taupo and Northland family loops. Free transport connects Auckland Airport with our depot at 19 Tironui Road, around 15–20 minutes away depending on traffic.
