Nomado Car Rental NZ

Support

24/7 roadside assistance — included on every rental

If something goes wrong, we've got you. Free roadside assistance is included on every Nomado car rental, anywhere in New Zealand, any time of day.

Travel is unpredictable. Flat tyres, dead batteries, keys locked inside the car — it happens. Every Nomado rental includes free 24/7 roadside assistance so a small inconvenience doesn't ruin your trip.

What's covered

Mechanical breakdown (the car won't start, the engine warning light comes on, anything not caused by misuse). Flat tyre — we send someone to change it, or arrange a tow if needed. Flat battery — jump start or replacement. Lockout — keys locked inside, we'll get you back in. Fuel delivery — if you run dry, we'll bring you enough fuel to reach the next station (you pay for the fuel).

What's not covered

Damage from off-road driving, water damage from fords or flooding, misuse of the vehicle, or repeated lockouts. We'll always help, but in these cases there may be a call-out fee.

How to call us

The 24/7 roadside number is printed on the rental agreement that lives in the car, and we'll text it to you at pickup. Save it in your phone before you set off — especially if you're heading into areas with patchy coverage.

Heading somewhere remote?

Parts of the South Island West Coast, the Catlins and the far north have limited mobile coverage. Tell us your route at pickup and we'll suggest a check-in plan and a backup contact method.
