We hired two cars from Omega Car Rentals in Queenstown and Auckland after reading numerous reviews and researching car rental companies in New Zealand. We liked their down to earth approach and prices... See more

Good price for a good clean car
Good price for a good clean car. If you don't need the latest new model but are happy with a model a few years older but tidy, then definitely a bit cheaper than the big players
The staff was nice and helpful but car was dirty
The staff was nice and helpful, however the car was dirty when we received it. There were beef jerky bits on the steering wheel, oil stains on the seats, unfinished bag of chips in the seat pocket
Effective and timely communication.
Everything was hassle free from start to finish
Pick up was easy … great car perfect for our travels … no hassle … even extended our hire period by a couple of days… easy. Great company to deal with would definitely recommend
The reservation process was simple
The reservation process was simple, pick up at Picton was terrific and the drop off service at Christchurch was spot on.
The car (Toyota Yaris) was ideal for the two of us. Comfortable and economical.
Would recommend Omega to anyone travelling to N.Z. The rates are the best we have used and a lot cheaper than an Australian competitor.

Very friendly staff and made booking a vehicle very easy.
Efficient service
Quick, easy and super helpful when we dropped the car up. Great car - exactly what we needed and returning it was simple and efficient. Transferred to airport was great and quick as well.
Auckland & Nelson Adventure
We rented our first Omega rental vehicle in Auckland for a week. We picked it up Downtown Auckland and returned it to the Auckland airport. We did not use the vehicle till we headed out of Auckland. Uber is very easy to use downtown Auckland without parking and traffic issues. The rental process was seamless great people to work with. Easy on line booking with discounts for older people. With Omega you save on airport taxes and you can get on the ferry. Only local rental car companies are allowed this access to ferries.
The next Omega rental vehicle we had was from the South Island in Nelson. We had the vehical for two weeks. When we picked it up, we had the luck of meeting Sue in the Nelson office. Sue spent as much time as we needed to go over a large wall map of the South Island. She was very patient and enthusiastic about our adventure. Sue and all the kiwis we met were amazing, friendly, interested in where we have been in their country and giving suggestions of other areas.

I found Omega Cars to be a great choice for my rental car. It was easy to book and the price was affordable. I chose a hybrid and it was a good reliable little car. Picking up the car was a quick process and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Likewise dropping it off at the airport was also very quick and efficient.
The big thing for older drivers was the non discrimination policy
1. The company doesn’t discriminate - for driver age.
The car wasn’t recent but performed well for about 1400 km.

Fantastic service from the team as usual. Great all round experience, highly recommended!
Excellent Picton office staff
Staff at the Picton office going the extra mile. So helpful, friendly, and efficient.
Car was good too!
My flight arrived out of office hours…
My flight arrived out of office hours but the car was ready to go and the pick up and drop off was super easy. Car was great to drive and affordable. Highly recommend.
Supa easy process
Supa easy process. Just remember to pay any tolls before you return the car. Also it can take 15min for the shuttle to get to airport so make sure you have plenty of time. Paid all inclusive for insurance and piece of mind.
Fast and cheap rent
I rented the car for one day. It was fast, cheap and everything went well
