Reviews of Omega Rental Cars Auckland
L.
Excellent staff and customer service, vehicle I hired was clean and tidy. There was a small mechanical problem not long before we arrived back, but Omega got onto it straight away. I left a parcel behind, but it was no problem picking it up later in the week. Loved the fact that I didn't need a credit card to hire nor do you need to pay a bond if you pay for the gold insurance (which was $50).
a.
Omega were really easy to deal with. Online booking and confirmation. I hired a hybrid, Toyota Aqua which seemed pretty fuel efficient. It was a painless and economical process to hire a car from them.
I’ve recommended to others but would definitely use them again.
D.
I hired a car with Omega during a longer stay in New Zealand in 2021/22. I had to extended by booking a couple of times, and also had to swap cars once. I found their service very professional, helpful and friendly throughout. We'll definitely be using them again on our next trip.
A.
We had a nice trip fitting in 8 people in one car)) The car was clean and comfy. We also had a booster seat add on for free, where in other places they charge for it. Will 100% recommend omega rentals 👍
M.
My second time hiring from Omega Rental.
Went to Taupo, Rotorua and Hamilton for a couple of days without any hassles.
Love their reasonable price and quality cars. The staff were helpful and so friendly!
B.
Omega has always been a very reliable car rental service for us in so many years. They offers a wide range of quality & very affordable cars in a very competitive market.
The staffs are accommodating and gives the best services, you will feel VIP with Omega
You deserve 7stars-Omega⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ as you have exceeded all my expectations.
I always have great experiences and memories with your car and very thankful for your services . Until our next rental. Many thanks 👍
A.
I had a really good experience. I dropped in, the staff were really helpful, arranged a car for collection for the next day, the price was reasonable and I was able to drop the car off at the airport for no extra charge at the end of the rental term. Also during my trip I was able to arrange taking the car to the South Island with a simple phone call to Omega as they act as agents for Interislander ferries.
A.
The worst part of my rental experience was returning the vehicle after hours to the arena car park, I was given a map with the street names drawn over by directional arrows, the actual address of the car park building was not written on the paper and there was no contact phone number for the parking building, nor yet an after hours number for omega.
Wishing to try a hybrid I rented an Aqua, it was ok, the car felt really cheap, after a few hours of driving my hands were sore from the hard plastic construction, when I opened the back windows the whole inside of the car vibrated and made a truly horrible sound.
P.
Excellent value from Omega for our four day trip north. Tidy car, cheerful service, and a competitive price. Thanks Omega!
d.
I had hired a car for the weekend to drive within Auckland. The charges are less compared to other rentals. The staff was very helpful. I got a car within half an hour I booked online.
D.
Great service at beach road Auckland . Friendly and efficient. I needed to return the car early and the refund was sorted easily. Will happily use Omega again
H.
Rental a car here a few months ago. Great staff very helpful got my vehicle quickly. Car was fine it did the job. Return was simple. Polite staff even commented on my dress which was nice of her. Will definitely return.
k.
Our trip was made even more memorable with the help of Omega Rentals. Good value and easy to deal with. No issues with the car. Thank you for making our trip safe and enjoyable!
S.
I wish I knew the guys name that I spoke to but I called the head office branch at about 3.45 on Monday and I cannot explain enough how amazing he was and his fantastic customer service! Same with the guy at the counter in Auckland City. I was in a tricky situation where I needed a car ASAP and they were both so helpful, the guy in Auckland even stayed at work late so I can get there. Fantastic car, service and just a wonderful experience. Highly recommend to all and I will definitely use you guys again! Thank you so much!!
田.
Great price, nice eco car, good location in Auckland, great service, I highly recommend it and we will use again.
J.
- Good rundown provided when we arrived.
- Clean vehicle that worked great.
- Easy to communicate with when lockdown happened and we needed to return the car earlier that planned.
W.
Great experience hiring a car for a weekend - cheap, great service, easy to deal with, collect and drop off the car, no problems whatsoever.
S.
We had a great experience with Omega, pickup and drop off were seamless and the car was economical and modern. Friendly staff. They did lose one star due to $2300 bond not being returned for over a week after drop off,no response to my email enquiry and an international call to follow up, where they easily processed the refund over the phone
R.
As it was my first time renting a car, I wasn't sure on what to expect.
The staff was friendly and helpful during both check-in and check-out.
They were one of the few open on Good Friday and Easter Monday!
No problems with the car (Mazda Demio) - it was clean and ready to go.
And, of course, the very convenient location in Auckland City (Beach Road). =)
J.
Great experience with Omega, from pick up in Auckland city to drop off two weeks later at the airport where we were shuttled 4 mins to the terminal. Friendly knowledgeable staff who appeared happy in their jobs and greeted you as a person. Loved NZ
F.
I come to Auckland often and use Omega Rentals all the time. Their on-line booking is easy to use and they offer the best rates
in the city. The cars are in good condition and staff are super friendly and efficient. Kudos to them and keep up the good work!!!
K.
While the care was an import with a very annoying consul (voice) and impossible to understand. The car was efficient, the price was appropriate, the service was fast, and the car was clean. 5 stars for price point and what I received. I will be using Omega again as it was great for what I was doing.
U.
Great service! Staff was very cooperative and accommodating given I was in quite a tricky situation and almost would have had to pass up on the rental otherwise. I was given a very smooth car, sparkling clean and at a superb rate. Great bang for my buck. Thanks, Omega Rental! :)
R.
Hired a car from Omega late 2019. Shuttle picked us up from the airport and took us to the rental office, in there we were greeted by a friendly staff. The car that we got was a pretty recent model Toyota Vitz, was clean and really nice to drive. The car got us to Hanmer and back to Christchurch no problem at all.
The only disappointing experience was after I returned the car I realised I had left something behind in the car, I emailed them but no one replied back to my emil. Otherwise it was a very good experience.
D.
I've used Omega twice now and both times have been super easy. I found their customer service excellent when I was picking up the car. Drop off at Auckland Airport was super easy, there was a van waiting to drop me off at the terminal. I would recommend.
C.
Excellent service at the best price! We hired one of the older models and it was clean and comfortable and drove very well, even on hilly and winding open roads. We were very impressed. Pick up and drop off was very fast and hassle free. Location is a convenient short walk from the city centre. Staff are friendly. Highly recommended.
C.
Hired a car from Auckland airport for a week, awesome experience from these guys! Better car than expected for a cheap price ( as we booked well in advsnce). Quick pick up and drop off airport to car, everyone friendly efficient organised and prepared...thanks, will be back😃
J.
A very cheap car rental option. I picked the cheapest option and got a surprisingly good car that was very clean and only have about 55,000kms on the odometer. I got the premium insurance and when the windsheild cracked because of a stone chip they handled it for me, offering a replacement car for free. Very good prices and customer service.
L.
I highly recommend this business.
Simply easy to access and yes as they say
Nothing hidden.
Will hire a vehicle again with them
Very affordable and very helpful and efficient friendly staff.
J.
A friend recommended Omega as the place to go for car rental in Central Auckland so they were the first place I looked when I needed wheels for a tramping trip. Not only did they have the best rates, great little cars and easy after-hours returns, but the staff (Jynx and Belinda) were super friendly and efficient. So yes they deserve a five star rating!
A.
Great service, Great Car, Great price, really couldn't ask for a better experience, easy pick up central Auckland and drop off at Wellington Airport.
Highly recommend omega cheers
J.
Car lended was reliable, clean and fuel efficient.
Receptionist gave exceptional service and advice and was able to change the dates of my booking with ease. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to rent a car whilst travelling across New Zealand.
A.
Excellent service and availability of cars as per normal. The staff at the Strand office are great and always helpful and friendly. Happy to recommend Omega to anyone who asks!
J.
Without doubt the easiest car rental that I've ever done (and there have been a few !). Rang late in the day but an early pick up the next day was not too much trouble. Thanks Eva ! Car was a great little unit, beautifully presented and affordable. Returning a little earlier than planned did not cause any issue. Great to be able to rent a GPS for us non-Kiwis to help us get where we wanted to be. Well done Omega. We'll be back.
J.
Best car rental in auckland in my experience. Wide selection of cars with different brands. Great value for money. Staff are considerate and go the extra mile for you. Cara I've tried: mazda demio, corolla hatch. I've tried a few rentals in auckland central and if I had to rank them it would be in this order Omega>Go>Ace>EZI
L.
Nicest and most helpful staff I've ever had for a car rental place. Accommodating us on a Sunday 1 hour before closing was really appreciated!
E.
I’ve booked 3 trips of various lengths with Omega rental - even back in England, they responded to my questions by personal email.
I was very happy with the car I received last weekend.
The rental cost was very good and it appears that there are no hidden costs. The people I dealt with in the office at collection and return were pleasant and efficient.
I’m looking forward to getting the next two cars for my extended trip here.
I would be happy to recommend on the first rental experience.
B.
I would recommend Omega to anyone needing an auto rental in New Zealand. We rented from twice during our unexpectedly extended stay in New Zealand, in Christchurch in February and in Auckland in June. In both cases the vehicles were clean and performed flawlessly. We returned both times at a different location from that where we picked up the vehicle so experienced 4 Omega locations. The staff at all were courteous and helpful.
G.
Just returned from NZ having had a rental car from Omega, Auckland. Excellent service throughout. The vehicle was brought to my hotel in Auckland. It was a recent model Toyota and clean throughout. I returned it to Omega, Christchurch where the drop-off took just a few minutes. I would not hesitate to use Omega again.,
X.
Excellent service, easy to access and drop the car, no hidden fees!
S.
Rented a car for 9 days through Omega. It was a brand new Hyundai Tuscon which was a great surprise, & very reasonably priced compared to other car hire places. Had a small hitch with them picking us up from our accommodation in Auckland to collect the car but that was a communication problem. Car drop off at Wellington was smooth and hassle-free, then a quick shuttle bus to the airport. Omega was recommended to me by a friend & I will certainly be recommending them to others. We will definitely rent through them again when visiting NZ. Thanks for a great self-driving holiday Omega!!
M.
Had a really great experience with Omega. They were really competitively priced and so helpful with booking the ferry and answering any queries.
When I had to return the car early and to a different city they were really accomodating.
Car was great and reliable!
Would absolutely use them again!
T.
Car pick up in the city is always a bit tricky, but we were staying across the road, and thought we would give Omega Car Rental a go…
There were a couple of attempts at confirmation, but once established that we indeed had a booking all seemed okay. Staff at the office were friendly, but the check in was not efficient. The car that was brought out onto the footpath and checked for dents was not cleaned on the outside, and the inside was just passable. The first GPS did not work, and I was told it was the last one. Luckily another appeared while the dent report was finished (there were plenty of scrapes in it). Luckily the second GPS was working, but later it was found that the maps weren't up to date.
The trip after that went okay, the car didn't have any issues and handled the road well. The car was five years old.
When we dropped the car back to the Auckland depot in the late afternoon, the traffic was busy and I was concentrating on getting my companions safely to the accommodation, and didn't notice the petrol station "just up the road", which I was informed of after I got back. Because I didn't fill the car up (it had over half a tank) I was charged $30 for not filling it, and $4 a litre (per the contract), which came to $105?? Now, as I'd hired cars from other hire places before, and been unable to fill the car due to time restrictions and been charged only for fuel at current prices and the fee waived, I found this to be excessive. I won't be hiring from Omega again.
N.
We have rented from Omega several times in the past few years when traveling in New Zealand from the US. We have found their staff efficient, helpful and competent. We have never had a problem with any of their cars and there have never been any unpleasant surprises with fees. When comparing Omega prices with those of others, we have been more than satisfied.
J.
Very easy-going staff and uncomplicated procedures both at pick up in Auckland Midtown and at drop off in Wellington Airport. The car is clean and all set and the rates are rather reasonable indeed.
So a full hand of stars for a service well worth it.
G.
Very helpful staff. Had a car just for a day and collection and drop off was exactly as agreed. We were in central Auckland so Omega were very well located. Happy to recommend based on our experience. Our car even had the GPS inbuilt so that was a bonus.
A.
Had a great rental experience from Omega. We arrived a little early to pick up our car and they were able to accommodate us. The car was clean and drove smoothly. They had helpful activity and driving maps for free.
N.
First time renting from Omega, but I'll definitely use them again. Chose them because they offered the best price, especially over the bigger names such as Hertz, Thrifty, and Avis. However, the car, the service, and the experience was great. Our vehicle - a near new Toyota Highlander - took us all over the North island in comfort and style. And the pick up and drop off experience was seamless. It's always great when you're surprised by quality like this.
D.
This was the first time we have used Omega Rentals. Picked up in Auckland and dropped off in Wellington, absolutely no issues, very accommodating professional service.
D.
Excellent car rental company. Good rates, nice cars and very friendly and helpful staff. One of the few companies that allow you take the car across from North to South Island, which saves the hassle of carrying your luggage as foot passengers on and off the ferry.
Omega was recommended by friends, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and to use again. Very satisfied with our car hire.
R.
Best customer service I've had from a rental car company at their Nelson (NZ) branch. Friendly, helpful & patient. Most affordable cars when comparing with other companies as well
K.
I was looking for a cheap deal without compromising on safety and comfort, and Omega Rentals offered just that. The booking process was easy and when I picked up the car, the staff were friendly. I didn't quite understand why any damage to the tires would not be covered by the full insurance I took out, but my trip went smoothly so I didn't have to deal with the issue. I will use Omega again.
L.
Never used Omega before as we are from the UK. We booked online for a pick up in Auckland close to our hotel. Our car was ready and waiting. Very helpful lady at the desk to talk me through the paperwork and check over the Hyundai Tuscan.
Needed to change our drop off in Wellington as we had changed our hotel to nearer the airport. This wasn't an issue and I was soon on my way.
Drop off was just as easy and we even received a drop off back to our hotel by Omega. Really nice touch and not something I have had in the UK before.
I would definitely recommend Omega cars for simplicity and flexibility. Overall cost was very good too.
D.
I booked a car in the UK via the Omega website and the process was very simple.
On the day I picked up the vehicle, the paperwork was completed within minutes and I was on my way. I would encourage everyone to take out the full insurance with Omega as it gives you complete peace of mind.
The car itself -- Nissan, wasn't new (my choice as it was better value), was clean, comfortable and easy to drive. In all I drove it for 1000 km and had no problems at all.
I would certainly use Omega again.
N.
Great car rental company, we were very pleased with the car it’s cleanliness and reliability. We opted for a car that was a few years old and with approximately 100k kms on the clock rather than a new car with only a small number of kilometres. The reduced cost of taking this option was significantly less by more than half and the car was clean, comfortable and reliable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended car rental company, will definitely hire from them again.
J.
Always a great price, friendly staff and exactly what you order - not any unexpected extras. Easy. Nice car. Only reason not 5 stars as they are not on site at the airports etc - but that helps keep the price down - considerably cheaper than the big brands ones but still good cars and great service. They have a shuttle service from the airport to the premises - takes a little more time but very easy. Second time we have used them and will definitely use them again.
J.
The car was in a very good condition, very comfortable. And when we send the car back, the staff also very nice. For sure, will rent again next time. Keep up the good work. Cheers
G.
The car did exactly what we needed it to, and it was pretty affordable as well! We even had to extend our drop off time by a few hours and they were cool with it.
The car seemed like new when we got it; not sure if that's always the case, but the whole experience was very professional. If I ever need to rent a car in New Zealand another time (fingers crossed I'm fortunate enough to visit again), I'll use Omega for sure.
J.
We recently visited NZ and hired a car from Omega. The service was fantastic at the pick up, the french lad explained everything to us we needed to know, (he also took the time to show us where the Toll roads were on our planned route and the alternative routes), and was lovely to deal with. The car itself was ideal, nice and cheap petrol wise and comfortable for the travel. The drop off blew us away, we dropped the car off to a friendly Indian chap and he gave us a lift to our motel nearby. Service like this is hard to find and we would definitely recommend Omega.
D.
Great service and price. We picked up the car in town. They upgraded our vehicle for the day and then we were able to drop it back to their base near the airport and they gave us a free shuttle which dropped us right outside the correct terminal. I would definitely book with Omega again.
R.
Excellent, prompt service. Very good easy to drive car. Reliable. I am a permanent customer for repeat business.
My only comment was the car had a lot of road/tyre noise. Mildly irritating, but not a big deal. I would recommend this company and its service.
C.
I really had a great experience renting a car with Omega during a month from Auckland to Christchurch. The car was brand new and better equipped than expected. Also Omega team had been really helpful when needed and always replied promptly. I definitely recommend it and would go for it again!
r.
Cost or renting the car was very competitive. The service both at the beginning and on final delivery was efficient and stress free. There was also a free shuttle running every 15 minutes to take us to the airport. Note that if you require free transport from your accommodation to pick up your vehicle, you need to contact Omega rentals at least 24 hours beforhand. All in all a very happy experience. Thank you Omega Rentals Auckland.
H.
Rented an Omega car from Auckland, drove up North and returned it in Wellington. Also rented an Omega car in Picton and dropped it off in Christchurch. Very nice and polite people to deal with in all four locations. In Wellington one of the omega members of staff, instead of calling for a taxi drove us to our hotel. No complications what so ever. I would very happily use them again. Very stress free experience.
P.
Our visit to Omega Rental Shop at Auckland City was great.First it was easy to find the shop from our hotel and we took a nice walk there. We had a reservation for Toyota Corolla Hatch for (19th-21st Nov).
The staff who attended to us was really interesting. He was cool and made the collection of our vehicle smooth. We were a bit worried at first when we had a vehicle without the GPS option as we were not well verse with the routes and all but it was fairly simple to get around Auckland and other parts of New Zealand. The vehicle we received was in good condition and clean. It was our first time using Omega Rental and highly recommended from a colleague . We really enjoyed our roadtrip around New Zealand and the use of the vehicle. Will definitely use Omega Car Rental again.
Thank You
C.
The best car rental company I have ever hired by far. No hassle, no hidden fees, great value, great customer service. Smooth car pick up and drop off process. The car was in great condition when we got it. Got their full protection insurance for the whole trip, gave us peace of mind to enjoy the long scenic drive exploring south island, definitely worth it.
Dropped off our car at a car park 5-10 mins from Christchurch airport at 3 am in the morning, greeted with smile by the staffs. Special thanks for the shuttle bus driver for the professionalism and friendliness while driving us to the airport really made our day.
C.
We are very satisfied with our Omega Rentals (Beach Road in Auckland) experience. We booked in advance from Canada and when we arrived everything was all set for pick up. They even let us change the dates for drop off. We choose a Rav4, which served our party of four very well. We had unlimited mileage and had three drivers with no extra charges. When we dropped off the car, one of the staff drove us back to our hotel for at no extra cost. They are easy to reach and answer the phone personally. The cost was reasonable and the staff were so very accommodating. We highly recommend Omega Rentals on Beach Road in Auckland. Thank you Belinda and everyone else.
One more thing ...for your peace of mind, buy the full insurance package.
K.
This was an uneventful rental, thank goodness. Our 32-day North Island rental experience was hassle free. The car provided reliable and dependable mobility throughout our month + trip. The pickup and return worked seamlessly. Thank you, Omega for your no stress service.
D.
Super !! Had a car for 4 weeks. Car was very cheap but still in top condition. There were no problems with the car during the whole time. Picking up the car and returning it was very easy. Staff extremely friendly. 5/5 stars deserved.
B.
Cheapest vehicle I could find online for this busy time of the year. Location was easy to find and vehicle was as described. Any email queries I had were responded tp promptly - impressed!
The guy who served me could have been a bit more friendly and advised that it was a foot brake for a hand break and that it was a keyless car. I dropped my vehicle in Wellington, the staff were very friendly here and the girl that dropped me at the airport was lovely - 5 stars to the staff there! Would hire with Omega again.
B.
I have consistently had a great experience with Omega Car Rental. I rented from this company in the South Island and thought they were fantastic, so I was happy to rent from them again in Auckland. The staff were friendly during the check in & check out process, and the car we received was clean and worked great. I highly recommend these guys if you want a good deal and a hassle-free car rental experience!
PS. Omega Car Rental is one of the only NZ rental companies that does NOT charge you a fee for returning the car at a different location than you picked it up. Other companies charge $100-200 extra which can make a big difference.
T.
Overall experience very good. Nice car! Gold insurance is a must to buy. When we return car, there is a scatch and the staff ask us why. Luckily we have taken photos to prove it existed before we use the car.
R.
This is the second time we have used Omega Rentals and we have been very happy with the service on each occasion. On this occasion we hired a Toyota Corolla from Auckland City and dropped it off a couple of weeks later in Wellington. In both places staff were cheerful and helpful. In Wellington we were offered a lift to the Rail Station. The car was just what we needed, was clean when we collected it and behaved well throughout.
In both our dealings with Omega we have opted for small cars and have found them to be excellent value for money. Provided you don't need the latest model, we can strongly recommend Omega Rentals.
EDIT: We have just used Omega Cars again for the third time. We had a Nissan Tiida for a couple of weeks, picking up in Auckland City and dropping off at Wellington Airport. All the comments above continue to apply and we would use Omega again without hesitation.
D.
Picked up car at Auckland CBD half an hour early and staff were happy to get us on our way early. We had the car for over 3 weeks and traveled all over New Zealand. Eventually dropped off the car at Christchurch and were very happy with the friendly helpful service we received at both locations. The car ran very well and was both comfortable and economic (just 2 passengers and luggage). We looked at several rental companies and settled on Omega as having good reviews and being competitive. Fully justified our choice - strongly recommend.
A.
We rented a compact car for 18 days with Omega and the experience was excellent. Both pick-up and drop-off instances were straight forward, very quick paperwork and the staff was very kind. Also the location in Downtown Auckland is very convenient, walking distance from where most tourists stay and very close to the highway so it's easy to leave the city without going through it.
E.
These guys were great,very friendly staff, i got there about 20 minutes earlier than my original pickup time and they still gave me the car, no problems. My car charger didn't work, and they lent me theirs, which was amazing. They had really good rates, too, and the car was clean, new and drove very well. Highly recommend them!
J.
These guys were on the cheaper side but their service was top-notch. We just needed a little run-about for our trip to Nelson so opted for the smallest car that they had (2007 Mazda Demio). It was a great little car that fit our family of 4 and our bags. Pick up at the airport was fast and easy, as was the drop off. I'd recommend Omega for sure :-)
M.
When I was looking around to rent a car, I looked at the bigger companies. They didn't have great reviews especially the ones in Auckland. I came across Omega because their price was very affordable for a newer car with full insurance. We had no problems picking it up in Auckland or dropping it off in Wellington. They were busy when we checked in, but luckily it didn't take us long to get the car and get on the road. Very happy we were able to travel through the north island with a car.
E.
Hired a car from Omega the other day to go on a day trip up the north coast. I found the staff to be efficient, helpful and friendly. The little automatic Toyota I was given proved to be perfectly adequate for the trip and I had no issues with the car whatsoever, even though it wasn't the latest model. $42 NZ for the full day's hire was excellent value compared to what the 'Big Name' rental companies were asking. I would have no hesitation in recommending Omega to any person interested in getting value for their hard earned dollar.
J.
We rented a Corolla glx2000 for 3 days. The condition of the car was tip top and new. Rental price was by far the cheapest could find as compared to the branded ones. When we returned the car, it was close to 5pm and I asked if I could just return in and pay the fuel penalty. The staff assured me that he can wait for me to fill up the gas right acthe street which I did and still manage to return the car on time, so kudos to the staff!
N.
Booked online and picking up the car was really easy from Auckland City Branch, just a few pieces of paper work to sign and payment to take. They gave us information about where toll roads were and how to pay too. We had booked snow chains which we were advised weren’t necessary by the omega team so they were taken off the price. Car was in excellent condition and very clean. The car had all the bells and whistles too (it obviously wasn’t the basic model). We did order a sat nav but it got very confused early in the trip with the road works (not too far out the city) so we used google maps which worked well with Apple Car Play. We went for the fully insured option and had no issues at the end of our trip returning the car (which was a straightforward and efficient process). Overall would definitely recommend.
C.
We returned our car after 5 weeks and was asked by the return person to go clean our car. I’ve really not experienced a car company asking me to clean up the car. The car was not perfect but I did not think nasty. I found the comment unwelcomed. Otherwise, the experience with omega was a good one
T.
Car was fine and we had no issues with it however we had to buy tyre valve caps and it wasn’t that clean on pickup. The person who handed the car over to us was miserable and we were made to feel like we were a nuisance to him. Paid extra for the full insurance however this doesn’t include damage to tyres - weird. We felt that if something had gone wrong, it would have been a nightmare to resolve and we’d have been charged and blamed. Dropped the car off in a better state than we picked it up in!! Wouldn’t use them again.
g.
Had no problems. Was a bit surprised to receive the car with half full tank. It is customary for rental companies to give you a car with a full tank - makes much easier to "even the score" at the end. Other than that, the car was in good order, ran very well. The documentation/instructions provided with the car were in good order. Overall, experience was good.
J.
During a 4+ weeks holiday in New Zealand we rented 3 cars from Omega, 2 from Auckland - City and 1 from Picton.
The service at both offices was good but especially so in Picton which was far more personal.
All three cars had done or close to doing 100,000 miles. Only the last one, a small Mazda, showed its age and was very noisy and had a lot of rattles, not helped by the New Zealand road surfaces. It also unexpectedly had satnav fitted but unfortunately this was unusable as all the buttons were labelled in Japanese and the maps also only for Japan, a clear guide as to where the car had been brought in from. The other two, another small Mazda and a Toyota Carolla were much better although having done similar if not more mileage.
Overall we were very pleased with the service we received from Omega. We were expecting to get older cars but they were in good shape despite the odd scratch and dent. We had done a bit of research before going and Omega seemed competitively priced with the internet price being better than the walk in off the street equivalent. We also took out the Gold insurance which meant it was less stressful if a little pricey.
We will definitely use Omega again when in New Zealand and will always try to include a visit to the Picton branch!
D.
We arranged to collect a car from Beach Road in Auckland. Omega agreed to collect us from our hotel on Federal Street ( after I asked nicely) and brought us to the office. We completed paperwork for the out of hours service at Christchurch ( next part of our journey) and then were presented with our vehicle for Auckland. Although the team were short staffed they were delightful and helpful and off we went on our journey. Vehicle return was straightforward and the shuttle service deposited us back at the domestic terminal. Simple and very efficient. The car was fine, exactly as we wexpected as we had booked the more ' mature' vehicle but it got us about and was great. Aloe. We used Omega on recommendation from a family member and were not disappointed. Thanks Omega.

Have used Omega Rentals for a number of years and always found them friendly, efficient and good value. The cheaper cars are reliable, tidy and well maintained if not particularly flash.
But the real difference is in their attitude and willingness to help. Last time I used them due to flight cancellations was running very late. They were waiting to pick me up, had car ready with keys in it and went the extra mile to allow a quick departure.
So highly recommend the service and thanks to the staff.
E.
I highly recommend this company for rental cars in Auckland. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. The company did not try to up-sell other services during the check-in/pick-up process and the drop-off process was quick and easy. Our car rental was functional and comfortable. The only thing was that our stereo touch-screen display was in another language (korean or chinese?) and we were not able to navigate the stereo system properly.
D.
Thank you Omega once again for excellent service. I regularly rent Omega vehicles, always well maintained, reasonably priced and a great helpful cheery team always efficient for a smooth pick up and drop off.
B.
The pick up location in Auckland and drop off in Queenstown airport were perfect. Also, the paperwork process at both ends was the quickest and most pleasant I have experienced with a rental agency. The car that we had was reliable and all the equipment was in good condition. I would definitely choose Omega again and recommend them without reservation.
C.
Customer service was fantastic- could not fault both in Auckland (pick up) and Wellington (drop off). Guido was very helpful - above and beyond. Absolutely amazed at how easily and quickly both the pick up and drop off was. Great car for a very reasonable price - served us well travelling around the North Island - 1700kms.
R.
We rented a car twice here for 2 days each one. The price is perfect, just look, sometimes it's cheaper to rent a car for @ days than only one day! (Cool). Also the service is great, we had an issue and the front office guy solved!
I highly recomend this company to rent a car!
R.
I hired a brand new car from Omega for three weeks whilst driving with my family around the North and South Islands of NZ. I was very happy with the service I received throughout, from the initial booking through to the collection and the return of the car. The staff at Auckland, where I collected the car, and Christchurch, where I returned it, were very friendly, efficient, and helpful. The car hire charges were also a fair bit cheaper than other major hire companies. I will definitely be using Omega again!
F.
Rented a car in Auckland for a 17 day visit to New Zealand. Everything went very well and I was very happy with the car, the price and the service. Very nice and efficient staff. Car was fairly new and very clean. We damaged the driver side mirror and they dealt with it very quickly (less than 15 minutes added to our return) and inexpensively.
M.
Great staff - really helpful. The car was really good - clean, well maintained and a joy to drive. And the price was keen. I look forward to using Omega next time we visit NZ. Thanks guys.
T.
Omega proves that it is not necessary to have a brand new vehicle for a rental.
An excellent vehicle was provided that did everything that was asked of it. The pick up was easy and convenient in Auckland. When the vehicle was dropped off in Wellington they were kind enough to drop us off at our nearby accommodation without having to ask.
Could you get better?
Terry
P.
One of the best, if not the best, car rental companies I've used. Office was helpful with changes to my booking, pickup and drop-off staff were equally good, and no issues with the car. Great service all round.
G.
Excellent service. Pick up at Auckland city was simple. No waiting. Nice clean modern car gave no problems. Drop off at Auckland airport equally simple with a shuttle to the terminal. I would use them again.
M.
Firstly a first class quality car that did what we wanted. Unfortunately whilst we were using the car we had a object thrown up from the road service cracking the windscreen. This needed to be replaced but this was not possible till we had returned the car at the end of our hire period which was only a few days later. Omega were very good and gave us an estimate as we departed the country a few days later they contacted us to say it had cost less than anticipated and a refund was on its way. I have to say they have been straight forward to deal with and given us a first class service. Would both recommend them and use them next time we visit. Could do with new directions to airport drop off as road changes have altered the current guide.
R.
The cheapest place in a reasonable location open Boxing Day and New Years, but they actually had great service too. The car was comfortable and did well on our road trip from Auckland to Wellington and back. The GPS was surprisingly reliable through numerous roundabouts. Only complaints are the car proximity sensor went off constantly whenever the car was stopped or going under 10kph, regardless of whether anything was near us or not; and the “USB” feature charged our phones but wouldn’t play through the speakers. In hindsight we should have asked for an auxiliary cable as well.
S.
Efficient service and well priced. I enjoyed working with Omega car rentals and the staff member who handled my rental was very professional and friendly.
D.
We were very pleased with our dealings with Omega. They were on time with everything and very helpful even though it was quite busy, the car was clean and modern. We had to cut our holiday short and that went seamlessly too. Well done... will definitely use again.
D.
We picked up our vehicle in Auckland city and dropped off at the airport. Staff at both locations were helpful and efficient. Bonus is the shuttlebus service we received when dropping off at the airport.
Car was clean and in good working order allowing us to enjoy our holiday without apprehension of vehicle problems, although there is 24 service attached should we have run into trouble. Will certain use Omega again when we visit NZ and will highly recommend to others.
J.
I had an excellent experience with these guys. Friendly service, lovely people and I got a real good 3 day hire deal. The rental car was in excellent condition, clean and tidy. It was a really comfortable ride. The full insurance on the rentals was cheap also, and luckily I bought the insurance because unfortunately I had a road accident during my travel. Full insurance had $0 excess and covers pretty much everything. When I returned the vehicle, all I had to do was fill out the claim form for the insurance. It took me 10 minutes only and it was trouble free! Would definitely come back and hire from these guys again!
J.
I would give Omega 6+ Stars if it was possible. I have rented cars in many countries (Canada, USA, Ireland, UK, France) and I have not experienced the ease of service and transparency that Omega has demonstrated. I have now rented again from Omega for the second leg of our New Zealand trip and have received the ease of check-in and got a better vehicle than the first one - which was very good anyway. The vehicles I have got (Toyota Rav-4's) are late-model, lower mileage SUV's in excellent condition.
It is a pleasure to rent from Omega.
P.
Omega proved a great rental company. We had a premium Corolla for 10 days, touring the North Island. No trouble at all. Vehicle was clean and in good condition, with only minor paintwork wear and tear and one or two small dings. Staff were great, with no trouble at all when we asked to change our drop off location. No hesitation in recommending.
P.
Omega staff were excellent in helping me book a car and any questions I had. Pick up and drop off was easy. Drove a Corolla which had no problems. Staff told me how to pay the tolls at drop off which was good to avoid any extra toll fees.
R.
Great prices and service. Was all very easy to deal with, picking up and drop off. Not a brand new car BUT was fine for our extended holiday in NZ. Toyota Corolla was the perfect car for a couple with 2 big suitcases and a couple of carry on bags.
J.
everything from the price to the customer service was great for us. we recently rented for a week and it was exceptional. the cost of the hire was very affordable and the whole process up to the dropoff in wellington was great. i would highly recommend this car rental and it is definitely my first choice for future rentals.
R.
My first time renting with Omega. They were very patient answering my questions through email. I rent for two days from Auckland City including booster seat and child seat. The car was clean and properly maintained. I will surely going to use Omega rental service in the future.
J.
I loved using OMEGA because I am a budget traveler. They are there for you if you want to save a ton on your rental car. The cars a a bit older, a bit more dinged up, but are in good solid running condition. Booked an economy car for 3 weeks and saved about $1000 over other companies and the car was fine. If your worried about sparkling new car, go ahead and spend more and look elsewhere, I'll spend my savings on fun stuff. Service was as good if not better than most rental agencies.
S.
Got a great vehicle, exactly as I booked. No hard sell on extra insurances or upgrades or anything like that - just friendly, quick service as pick up and drop off. They even gave me a lift back to my hotel a few minutes from Auckland Airport after I'd dropped off the car - it's good to see a car rental company going the extra mile!
J.
No BS car rental at great prices. Service is courteous. Will use again if I need another rental
C.
We had a battered car but it ran well for the 9 days. Picking up experience would have been better if the concerned staff was more helpful. We were late dropping off and I left my phone in the car. Joe went out of his way to help although the other staff was indifferent. For this I thank Joe again and rate Omega a 4 stars.
F.
We checked all the rentals company around and none of them had a car to rent. Omega was the only one having a new cheap car. Everything was nice and clean. Price super cheap. Car with the insurance was at the same price like the car without insurance in the other companies. Definitely worth to rent there. Good insurance conditions.
P.
We recently arrived in Auckland from Canada, and made the excellent choice to get our rental car from Omega Rental Cars Auckland. They picked us up from our hotel as requested, in the car that we would be driving. The check-in was quick and efficient, and we received clear directions on how to get to the main highway headed north to Paihia. It could not have been easier! When we handed in our car in Wellington 2 weeks later, they were happy to drive us back to our hotel. We are looking forward to our next dealings with Omega on the south island, when we travel for two weeks out of Christchurch!
R.
Belinda is awesome along with the team who do a great job and have looked after me so well, I regularly rent.
The cars are super clean and often new and I recommend them, great pricing to match the service and vehicle quality.
Cheers Ryan
H.
Transparent pricing , nice friendly staff at QT airport branch . Timely pick up and drop off from QT airport. Car was well maintained .
I will utilize their services again.
J.
Quick process when picking up and returning the vehicle. No hassles, and never any problems at all with the car. I've used Omega Rental probably four times, and just don't bother comparing quotes with other sites now. Have also recommended them to overseas friends who were very happy with them.
J.
Undoubtedly the best service i have received from a rental company. Quick, efficient handling of the request from a very professional and friendly member of staff. No extra for added driver or leaving car at airport though it was booked in town. Even insurance - always a bugbear - was over and done with quickly. To top it off, a free shuttle from drop off point to airport was provided. All for $40 per day before insurance.
We shall look out Omega for our next rental, for sure.
X.
We had a good rental experience with Omega. They were flexible in modifying the return at a different location. Prices are more reasonable than other rental companies. Even though our car had many miles it worked fine for the week.
G.
Good price, good car, quick car rental and return, friendly and competent personnel. The return office was not directly located at the airport of Auckland, but this didn't matter as we arrived there with Omega's shuttle 10 minutes after handing over the keys.
G.
We went to pick up our car at Auckland airport after hours and Omega had forgotten to leave the car and keys with the clerk. We had to catch a taxi to our hotel, which cost us $80. When we rang Omega the following morning they were apologetic and arranged for us to collect our car at the inner city depot. They gave us a discount of about $250, which was good. Our drop off at Christchurch airport was easy and trouble free.
J.
Rates were reasonable, and service at both pick-up in the city and drop-off near the airport was excellent. Drop-off included a free shuttle to the airport terminal. The late model Hyundai ran without any problems. Would definitely recommend Omega Rentals.
B.
Got a nice reliable 2nd hand car for less than half the price of the usual hire car companies (hertz, Avis etc).
A few minor things like aux cord input not working and had to manually adjust the side mirrors as the electric adjustment wasn't working.
The car was super fuel efficient which is great for the high NZ petrol prices and for the cost, it did its job well.
Would hire from them again.
C.
Highly recommended. Great customer service.
We were very happy with the service we received when we were concerned about the amount of tread on one of the wheels. They quickly gave us a replacement vehicle so we could continue with our travels.
A.
The BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! It is very rare these days for you to get good customer service anywhere, but it is almost unheard of to have the experience my family and I did at Omega! Junior (JuJu) assisted us and he as amazing. Super friendly, extremely helpful, and just had that good energy that pushes out to everyone around him. The rental car was great, prices were the best around, and it was very convenient for pickup and drop off (out in just minutes). Highly Highly recommended.
J.
Terrific service at Omega Rental Cars. Each time I need to rent a vehicle for weekend adventures, this is the rental service I use. I'm consistently impressed with the vehicles and the staff here.
G.
Omega was really helpfull during the covid crisis. We were stuck far from home and they told us to keep the car for free during the lockdown.
We alsways could extend or modify the drop-off location during any contract we had with them. They always went out of their way to help us.
I highly recommend them.
A.
Easy and quick to pick up however, it's hideous when it comes to returning it!! We had to wait for like 30 mins for just returning a car! Plus when we picked it up the car, appreciated they gave us free upgrade.However, the car itself needed a little bit groom and general cleaning. It was a fine experience overall.
A.
Their front desk is busy and can be slow if you hit it at popular times (like late on a Sunday), but once clear of that, the costs and the car were all exactly as it said on the label.
We had booked it online, insurance and deposits all described correctly, and the car was ready for us immediately.
No issues with the car at all. All in all a good experience, would be five stars if the front desk had a few more staff on at peak times.
A.
Great value hire car experience, car was a relatively new Corolla which proved extremely reliable and clean. Apart from having to wait a while on collection in Auckland due to the office being very busy, everything else about the experience was great - drop off in Queenstown was easy and we were given a lift to the airport straight away - highly recommended.
P.
Excellent service at both end (Auckland and Wellington). No hassle and a really excellent car (RAV4) with every extra including luggage shelf!! Wish I’d used them in Christchurch - their pick up bus came around really quickly and regularly for the folks who were using them. I saved a little money and now driving around in something with starship mileage.
A.
We hired a Toyota Previa for a 5 day trip to the Bay of Islands. The price was economical and the car did service were excellent. The pick up and drop off were very smooth. Would definitely recommend Omega.
C.
We originally chose Omega because they had the best one-way prices. They are easy going, no issues whatsoever. If you get the full insurance and refill the tank then you just hand off the keys and you’re done. Airport shuttle in Auck is good, very nice driver.
F.
We rented the "deal special" car for a very good price with insurance from Auckland to Wellington. The car (Sunny Nissan) was very reliable, smooth, automatic (soooo enjoyable!). The staff was also very helpful. When we dropped the car off in Wellington city, they even suggested to give us a lift to the CBD.
Amazing trip thanks to Omega!
R.
Easy friendly pick-up; the car was clean and great to drive whilst already a few years old so I didn't feel so precious about it which actually left me feeling more confident. I would definitely rent with Omega again.
D.
Just what you want from any business large or small. We keep returning to Omega for rental cars when coming back to N.Z from Australia and I can't see that changing. Whether in person, via email or on the phone Omega staff are naturally friendly, very helpful and efficient. Aftercare is also exemplary and the cars have always been up to date, clean and never any mechanical or other issues.
P.
Have been travelling regularly to NZ for holidays since 2006 and always have used Omega. The service and the cars have always met our expectations. Always friendly and flexible. This time we had a tight budget and opted for a mystery budget deal. About a 10 year old Nissan in good condition that gave excellent economy, was comfortable, looked good for age and went like a train. Very reliable and took us to the top of NZ at Te Reinga. Very pleased with Omega.
B.
We had an awesome experience withOmega rental cars, as they say, they are upfront and honest. The customer service is impeccable, car was of good quality, price is very competitive and the drop off was easy. I would strongly recommend to do business with them.
d.
hired a car at short notice from the Wellington branch for a one-way trip to Auckland, Car was fine - upgraded on pick-up to a relocation vehicle that needed to be returned to Auckland so had a better car than booked. Only niggle was being charged an extra day's rental on returning the car despite having been told that it could be returned after the time stated in the contract without a problem (within reason) - contract said 12.00 and we returned the vehicle at 2.45
The explanation given that only one hour's grace was allowed didn't tie in with the time on the contract, let alone what had been said at pick-up, as 12.00 was an hour and a half after the pick-up time.
Still pretty good value for money though
D.
Excellent service and well priced. The car, a RAV4, was as booked and just what my wife and I needed for our trip from Auckland to Queenstown. (I probably shouldn't have been surprised by actually getting the car I'd specified. However, having had at the start of our holiday a long standing booking with Hertz for a mid size car for our drive down to London Heathrow from Derby and then on collection provided with an absolutely awful and totally unsuitable VW Transporter as "the last car they had", I was impressed, not to say relieved!). The Omega pick up and return process was smooth and the staff were friendly and helpful. This approach was also evident on the phone, when we had a change of plan and asked at short notice to change the drop off point from Christchurch to Queenstown. This request was accommodated willingly and efficiently. Our total rental time was three weeks, which is the longest car rental I've ever had, and based on this experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Omega Cars and will definitely use them in future if I'm ever fortunate enough to visit New Zealand again.
P.
I hired a car from Omega for one week for business purposes and having been stung before by a rental company I was very skeptical. Whilst the car was fine and there was fortunately no problem getting my full bond back and no damage concerns whatsoever, and the female staff were really lovely, I did have a brief disappointing moment where - upon thoroughly checking over the car on pickup - one of the male staff members got huffy with me, presumably because I was taking longer than he'd like. Aside from this, I would definitely use Omega again (and will always take my time checking the car over.)
M.
I booked for Medium sized SUV for 6 day road trip in New Zealand, though this was first time i booked with a non branded (American) company based on reviews, and I must say I was very happy with the experience.
I got a Toyota RAV 4, the car was maintained decently well and I got a great deal on it for about 530$ NZD for 6 day’s no deposit (Hetz Australia and most other other brands in this part of the world take a 100$ deposit min). These guys also have a very straightforward insurance policy it does not have the super cover policy (which means tires battery and keys are on you) but has zero liability for a very good price (the best I have ever seen).
I took the car from Auckland Downtown and returned to Christchurch Airport both were good locations. The only minor glitch is that they don’t have after hours drop even in the airport (most of the companies including the big ones also don’t have that). But they have an arrangement with a nearby parking lot for a minor charge of 35$ 1 time, I dropped the car at 3:30AM and the parking lot operates a free shuttle (every 5 mins travel time 5-8 mins ) to the airport.
So overall great company if you are planning for a long term rental in NZ. I would strongly recommend this.
I.
Great experience with Omega. Got an older Camry in good shape and saved half over my second choice for a newer one. No mileage charge and staff was polite and efficient.
M.
Omega is definetly the best car rental company in NZ.
They were extremely helpful and nice to talk with. We went to different companies for compare prices and omega had the best price and they were honest with everything.
The cars we had through north and South Island were perfect and they even gave us a lift to and from the ferry in Wellington/Picton.
Thanks Omega, you are awesome!
K.
Quick & easy. Great quality with more than reasonable price.
J.
Friendly staff and a decent little car. The one I had was 7 years old but ran perfectly and I had no problems on a 30 day rental. Returning the car was really simple and easy, and the process very slick. Go via their Facebook page for a discount.
y.
Hi there,
I would like to thank you very much for the excellent service and cheap prices that I received from Omega when I was in Auckland.
Every thing went smoothly and I would like to mention a specific incident:
On my way to Auckland airport from Omega depot I forgot the two of my mobiles at Omega van. This was very upsetting at the end of my holiday.
I used a mobile from a stranger at the airport to phone Omega and let them know and while I was speaking I turned around to see Omega van driver coming back with the two mobiles which was a very good surprise.
Thank you again and I will always use Omega as the first place to look at when renting cars in NZ.
Best Regards,
Youssef Ekladious
C.
When I went to pick up the car, although I had booked a GPS they did not have any (is it not the idea that if I book it- they will then have it... they did find one in the end). The "friendliness" of the front desk women in Auckland has a lot to be improved but hey not everyone is super warm and people have off days. The car was great, as was the drop off in Wellington.
T.
Highly recommended. Very great value for money. Do drop off and pick up new car between the islands. The service provided by OmegaRentalCars is amazing. Thank You!
o.
Everything went great. I had a small accident and needed some extra time for returning the car and in both cases they helped me really quickly and with no troubles or surcharges attached. I'd really like to point out Junior from Auckland City branch that gave us outstanding service!
J.
Good experience hiring from Wellington. Returned the car to Auckland, but got stuck in traffic on the way there. We called the Auckland office and informed them of the situation, and were assured that we could return the car an hour late with no penalty. When we arrived, nobody seemed to know or care about the phone call and I was charged an additional $48 for a late return. The car was smooth and relatable, but I was not especially pleased with this transaction.
D.
A happy experience all round. Any delays were reasonable in the circumstances, the car performed faultlessly and the staff were making an effort. Just a note that unlike other rental firms there is no signage on the car that it is a rental. This can be a factor in security in some places. Another tick
R.
Was super easy to rental and good value for money.
I did a road trip in the North and South Island with no problems, the car was small but perfect for a couple.
Everybody in omega rentals was super nice.
M.
Omega rentals Auckland were excellent, great central location in Auckland city, with easy pick up and drop off. The staff were great, everything went really smoothly and I would highly recommend hiring a car with them. Thanks Omega Rental Cars!
J.
We rented a Toyota Corolla from Auckland for one week. Car operated well although it had more than 100k kilometers on the clock. Pick up and drop off were well managed and recommend details of insured tyre failure and repair coverage and cost be included on your Omega website as this came as a big surprise to me. Tyres were very worn and without much tread so did not like risk of accident on some roads, let alone repair cost if they failed. Great to have Omega city and airport service centers. Regards J and A in Sydney.
P.
Excellent service and friendly folks here. Cars are mostly late models and very much no frills, but get you where you want to go with good gas efficiency. Price was great and since we were staying at the Waldorf Stadium we got free GPS too! Which I needed when out in the countryside. Would be an excellent score if the vehicles were newer. I would definitely use them again.
J.
Uncomplicated, inexpensive and no-surprise car rental that extended from 10 days to 32 days. Easy pick-up and return. Good staff.
M.
We recently hired a car from Omega Car Rentals. We had done a lot of research on the internet trying to decide who to rent from. We finally chose Omega and very glad we did. Prior to selecting Omega I had sent an email enquiring about the rental terms and received a very prompt response. We arrived to pick up our car and was served by very friendly staff, we had sort of anticipated that it would probably take a while to do paperwork etc, but it was very efficient and quick and in no time we were on our way and heading out of Auckland city in our Toyota Corolla. The car was grwwat to drive and we had no problems with it. The same quick efficient friendly service when we returned the car. I would definitely recommend Omega Car Rentals and also use again.
C.
Fantastic service. Our flight was diverted from Wellington -> Auckland, and Omega were able to change our pick up location to Auckalnd at no extra charge (this was at Xmas Time so very limited cars available). Thank you Omega!!
H.
Car pick up location was very convenient and the staff handling my pick-up and drop-off were very helpful. I would have given a 5-star rating except that I had rented my car with a Tom Tom GPS, which had a USB charging cable, but the car did not have a USB port and the office ran out of USB adapters. I ended up having to buy one at a store nearby.
P.
We made reservation in advance. Perfect services for both islands at pick up/drop off depots, very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, good quality car. I highly recommend
P.
They were well organised at pickup and return. The car was in excellent condition (we did go for the later model for the few extra dollars) And finally the transfer to airport went well. All in all I was very happy with car and the professional service from all staff.
T.
Had an excellent experience with Omega Rentals! They had the proper car available, price was right and they offered me a ride back to my destination after drop off because I had sustained a foot injury during my visit and had a hard time walking. A lovely group of people! Thank you so much! If given the chance I would rent from you again!
p.
We've used Omega every time we've travelled to NZ (4 times starting in Auckland and 4 from Picton). They are excellent value for money, the cars have always been reliable and well suited to NZ driving conditions and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I thoroughly recommend them.
M.
Good service, quality price and clean car without branding :) will definitely be using Omega rental in the future
C.
Polite, friendly, efficient service. Good value for money. I would suggest that you advise people about the return of the car to Auckland airport depot- allow for plenty of time for peak traffic and explain about roadworks.
L.
Great service on pick up and so easy to drop the car off at the end.
The airport shuttle in wellington makes everything so easy PLUS the petrol station right opposite the office in Wellington is simply fantastic
Great service guys. This is the second long trip I have used you. keep it up
T.
No problems with service and car. We had to drop our car off early which meant thier Wellington office wasn't open and is 1.5 kms away from Airport. We paid the extra fee for after hours drop off . Instructions were to drop off at office. I then thought how am I supposed to get to the airport with my family and luggage 5am in the morning. I emailed then and they corrected my instructions indicating leave in car park at airport and hand keys to Air new Zealand staff at counter. Besides this minor hiccup staff were friendly and responsive. My particular car had 90k on the clock so not prestine condition. Considering the price was the best deal I could find on the web compared to other major rental car companies I woukd highly recommend in your search for comparison.
P.
Such pleasant helpful staff. We dropped in and completed the paperwork and they picked us up from our accommodation the next morning. No extra fees to pay and on drop off in another location, they drove us back to our digs. Couldn't have been better. Decent reliable vehicle with no rental stickers advertising we were tourists.
E.
NZ Best car rental company - bar none!
We have few correspondences before we left for NZ for 19 days, North and South islands.
Omega Reps made several suggestions to your plan, a welcome indeed. Thanks to Eva and Keagan!
They are the best rental company you could find in NZ, good folks, true to their words. They even corrected my rental rate as per the agreement.
Thank you for making our NZ experience even more memorable, take our worries away. Kudos.
P.
We hired a car for 30 days from "Omega" in January / February 2019 and toured the North Island .
We had a great time and the car we hired was in excellent condition.
Our experience from the initial hiring of the car to returning it to the depot was trouble free . I would recommend"Omega car hire" to anyone considering hiring a car in New Zealand
B.
Hired a car with Omega on the North Island in Auckland CBD and found their services excellent. Car was in good condition and the staff were very helpful. Could not have done enough for you.
Had intended on hiring a car with them at the airport in Christchurch(14/07/2016), but when I tried contacting them, the guy on the phone was extremely rude. As a result I hired a car with another company
M.
The cheapest rates available. There's a reason they're rated so highly!
Whilst our Corolla had 60,000 kms on the clock and most of the more premium rental car companies we went with in the past had much lower mileage, it didn't make much of a difference because the car still took us from A to B in comfort.
Picking it up was a straight forward process, and we were surprised when dropping it off because they had a free shuttle to the airport. Zero hassles.
The best bit is that the cars already have a few scratches, so you don't need to worry as much about keeping it in pristine condition. It's also worth getting the 'gold cover' for $0 excess to give you an extra piece of mind. And they're much more reasonably priced in this department compared to all other competitors.
10/10 I would book with them again.
N.
Very helpful and friendly service. The car was the model we booked, a little battered and scratched but this was to be expected of a car of it's age. It was comfortable, clean and ran very smoothly. Would definitely recommend.
B.
Omega provided a good quality car and was very helpful by picking us up from the cruise terminal. The airport location was difficult to find and it would have been helpful to get better directions from them. Overall very pleased and would use them again.
A.
Friendly and helpful staff, cheap prices and a reliable vehicle all made dealing with these people a great experience. The car took us from Auckland to Dunedin and back again with nary a hitch and handled the twisty mountain roads as easily as the highways. We'll almost certainly use them again next time we visit glorious New Zealand.
c.
Excellent service. Easy pick up and drop off at the airport. Didn't have to pay a deposit, which was really helpful and even though we detailed the car we were told we didn't need to clean it on return, which was a surprise. Definitely recommend Omega.
A.
Rented from Omega for the 5th time. Always great experience, always good reliable cars (older, but well maintained and that does not bother me) and great service at considerably lower price than large agencies. One of the lowest full-insurance costs around. Highly recommended.
N.
Other than the miscommunication from omega at the very beginning with where to pick us up from the Port (leaving us waiting for over an hour and a half), the vehicle was absolutely perfect and exactly what we expected.
When I dropped the vehicle off, I only had to wait 10minutes before I was dropped off back to the airport.
Omega is the cheapest rental vehicle company in auckland, and the vehicles are of high standard.
V.
I ordered an economy car and got an old Mazda Demio with 120 000 km. The computer interface was in Japanese and couldn't be switched to English. I had difficult time connecting my mobile. Nevertheless, I crossed both islands on this car (Omega is one of the few companies allowing boarding the ferry without changing the car). Fuel consumption was 6L/100 km which I consider very good on NZ roads. Picking/dropping the car was very smooth. In total, 5 stars because everything was in order.
S.
These guys were amazing! Recommended to me by the i-site in Wellington, the rates were fantastic and the car was super-economical. They even picked me up and took me to the rental pick up at no charge! And everyone I dealt with was very friendly and superb at their jobs. Would totally recommend them and use them again the next time I visit New Zealand!
m.
Omega was great! Once arriving in Auckland, they explained everything thoroughly to us as we were driving in a country we have never been in before. When we return the car and Wellington, they quickly took us to our hotel so we could continue on our vacation. Very friendly staff .
N.
I took the budget Mazda out for a day from the Beach Road shop in Auckland a few weeks back and it was fine. I booked late the previous night and it was all ready next morning. The service in the shop was efficient; the vehicle clean and the price good. The car did feel like it might not start a couple of times during the day, which worried me, but it didn't let me down. Two small practical things I'd have liked are: a pointer on how to open the petrol cap (!) and a copy in the car of the map of how to get to the multi-storey car park - it's on the window of the shop so I had to drive past and look. No big deal. As a non-NZ driver, I'd also have liked the insurance situation to be clarified. I had a great day. It's the second time I've used Omega, and I'll use them again when I'm next in NZ.
s.
We rented a car out of the Auckland branch, on a Sunday morning. The team mending the desk was not really customer friendly, but again, it was Sunday morning!
That being said, the car worked fine, and the value for money is why we keep going back to Omega Rental
H.
Best car rental in NZ, best prices, no hidden fees, and offices almost everywhere in NZ, north and south.
I rented a car multiple times in Auckland, Wellington, Queenstown, always perfect.
C.
Excellent service on pick up and drop off, we had an excellent , clean vehicle giving us a month long trouble free New Zealand experience. Highly recommend Omega Rental Cars!
M.
Very pleased with the vehicle great price for what it was. Service was quick and hassle free I would certainly be using Omega rentals as my first choice again when needed. Great job guys AA+
S.
Good service. Good value for money. I chose a car then I wanted to upgrade to another. They were flexible to accommodate my request.
T.
Omega Rental Cars are fantastic value for money. OK, so the vehicle wasn't brand new and wasn't as 'shiny clean' as you might get from the more well-known rental car places but the car we hired got us from 'A' to 'B' and back again safely, reliably and in comfort and didn't cost the earth to hire, so what more do you need? The staff were super friendly, down-to-earth, and everything was very clearly explained (which you don't always get with the bigger rental companies). The online booking process was very straightforward and all the paperwork was ready when we arrived. I think it took about 10 minutes from arrival to driving out the gate, which included an extra windscreen polish! Would definitely use Omega again in the future.
B.
We've hired a car for 42 days with Omega, from Christchurch to Auckland. It was a budget model, older but cheaper: 26$/day.
After 1 week, we thought the fuel consumption was way too high and asked to change car. It's been made very easily in Queenstown, no surcharge, no complaint.
Service has always been quick. Staff is efficient. 100% recommanded.
C.
Great service. Especially when I left my jacket in the shuttle at the end of the day and the driver came back to the airport in his own time to deliver it to me. Fantastic service
G.
Fantastic car rental service with friendly staff and clean, reliable and affordable rentals! My wife and I rented in January 2017, did lots of driving with no problems and were very happy! Would recommend to anyone needing a rental car in New Zealand.
C.
What a great outfit. I'm from the USA and rented from Omega 2 days. Luckily, I didn't hurt anyone driving on the left side! Car was ready when I arrived. Very friendly staff (Actually everyone in NZ is friendly). BUt when I was headed home, I received an email from them telling me I had left my iPad in the car. I was already at Auckland airport so it was too late. They shipped it to me. I would rent from them again in a second.
T.
Awesome service.Hired many time from Omega Rentals.
M.
great service as usual. Had to pick up vehicle from Auckland city after returning from a cruise- staff very pleasant and helpful, They held onto a baby car seat and drove me back to the terminal when we originally left.
J.
Great service, we got a car one class better than what we payed, they also did not complicate about picking up the car one hour prior to the booking. The only thing that affected my opinion was we had some problems with the car - which is obviously not their fault.
G.
Prebooked out rental online. Pick up and drop off and smoothly and relatively quick. Cat was clean and in working order. Near the end, half the windows stopped working though but we knew we were getting an older car so it wasn't too surprising
C.
We drove our rented car 3900km on a road trip through New Zealand. It was very reliable and we experienced no problems with it. Only complaint was that the car was quite old and full of hundreds of bumps and scratches. The staff were very helpful, and our rental even included the ferry tickets from Wellington to Picton.
J.
Wonderful Customer service.
Had Rental for 4 days at a very reasonable charge out fee.
No hesitation to use Omega Rentals again.
Highly recommended.
N.
Fabulous experience right from visiting the site to dropping the car off at your Airport Depot.
The Staff our there are FABULOUS, the car was awesome and we will definitely be recommending Omega to everyone.
Thanks for making our trip even better with the freedom having a rental car provided us.
A.
Good price and communication. Easy pick up at city location and drop off at airport depot. Regular shuttle so no issue in getting to the airport
K.
I drove from Auckland to Wellington, crossed over to Picton by the Interislander ferry to Picton and drove to Nelson where I returned the Nissan that I rented from Omega Car Rentals.
I did not face any trouble with the car and had a pleasant drive.
L.
I searched high and low looking for a hire car, I generally go with the big names e.g Hertz and Thrifty but there prices were too expensive this time.
Omega to the rescue, low low price and fantastic service, I was blown away and will be singing praises of these guys!
The one thing I will say is that the drop-off point for the airport is 2.5km away from the airport, but they run a shuttle van to and from so no issue.
Thanks Again Omega, see you next time!
P.
Trouble free booking, the car (Toyota Highlander) was brilliant, the price was right, the staff at pick-up (Auckland City) and drop-off (Auckland Airport) could not have been better. 10/10 from me.
A.
It was good experience. The car was new and in perfect conditions. The reply to emails were also quick. Will go for them again.
I.
Staff courteous and friendly but continually gave preference to phone calls over the people waiting to collect pre-booked cars. Three waiting customers, and the two office staff were repeatedly on the phone. When the service was eventually delivered, the car was ready to go and the process was smooth and efficient.
P.
The car was covered in chips and scratches but insisted on trying to mark down every one on the paper work. Did not fully understand why details of a credit card needed to be taken but ear marking $400 on a Debit Card was required and f we did not have a credit card.
Assistant was very helpful and friendly, car went well all throughout the hire. Return out of hours was easy.
J.
As an ex Kiwi I visit NZ quite often. In the past I found Omega both excellent value and service. I just use them automatically now and have never regretted it. Fast pickups and paperwork, good clean cars, helpful with directions and maps and pleasant people.
W.
Excellent service! The car is clean and well-maintained. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Pick up / drop off location is perfect. Done through internet booking. Fast and easy. Will definitely use again. Highly recommended!
H.
It was a long weekend when I reached their office. Omega car rental was the only hope since I already asked other car rentals and not a single car was available. Not only 'omega car rental' provided me car but they gave almost new one, It was 2000 KM driven Captiva. I am happy with the service they provided and I recommend it to other travelers also.
S.
Great prices, car was awesome little runner to get around Auckland city
J.
I have been renting cars from Omega for a while now during my few trips to New Zealand. So far been really happy with their service especially their helpful staff.
Keep it up.
R.
Omega car rentals were just perfect! Fantastic prices, a quick pick up (and later drop off) at Auckland airport, and very friendly staff. Highly recommended, and I'll be using Omega again next time I'm in Auckland!
R.
Very good service -friendly and eager to help. GPS a must for touring . Had a hic-up at first due to miss communication about pickup from Cruise terminal but rectified . Instant shuttle to airport on return of car with a very friendly driver. Would definingly use again.
R.
When choosing the rental company to use for our four week holiday in New Zealand we trawled through all the websites and found that Omega had the most 'friendly', 'no nonsense' and 'easy to use' website. The booking process was very straight forward and the prices were by far better than all the other companies. Furthermore, we felt that by dealing with a local company, we would be using people who understood the local requirements better.
We were four adults and ordered a Rav 4 or the like but before we collected the car in Auckland we realised that the boot would not be large enough to take all the luggage, so we contacted the Auckland office and they arranged for us to see a Previa. This proved to be the size we needed and they swapped the booking for the Previa at no extra charge.
We had a fantastic holiday, driving over 2000miles. The car was excellent - helped by the fact that driving on New Zealand's was a dream compared to the UK.
We returned the car at Christchurch airport, where again, we received excellent service. We can heartily recommend Omega.

Rent a car for 4 days in Auckland to travel around north island.
Omega Rental cars is the best price that we get compare with others, reliable car (roadworthiness) and the insurance covers all the cost ($0 excess payment) if you choose “Gold cover”.
There are no hident cost and unlimited km/ml travel.
We are very happy to rent again in the future. Thanks Omega Cars 👍😃
t.
Value for money car hire, even including the no excess insurance came to less than $50 per day. Friendly staff and a free shuttle to airport if you return to the airport outlet. Thank you
K.
We rented a car from omega for a couple of weeks. The car was great, just what I expected, and got us all around the north island with no problem. They representatives were always professional and helpful. I would highly recommend omega!
A.
Swift rental experience, easy pick up and drop off, no hidden costs and extremely cheap for the quality of car I received. Provided me with the transport to go experience some amazing places in New Zealand!
C.
We booked our car with Omega because they were the cheapest but also had mostly good reviews. We were a bit apprehensive but we needn't have worried. The staff were courteous and helpful and the car was just right for our needs. My only complaint was that when we arrived at Auckland airport we had expected to get the car from there and didn't realise that we had to ring the company and wait outside for them to fetch us and take us to their base. I think that should be explained IN BIG LETTERS for stressed travellers!
But I would cetainly go with them again.

E.
Very easy to arrange a cheap, reliable car for a week. Great service. We've booked again for in two months' time. :)
E.
The car worked fine, and the service was excellent. Being on my own and racing to catch a ferry, the staff offered to drive me to the terminal after I had dropped off my car. I'm so appreciative that they showed me that kindness and it was most unexpected. Excellent, will use them again.
C.
So we rented a car from Auckland city and returned it at the Auckland airport. The check out and return were really smooth and the staff is helpful. To me, there's no hidden fees and it was hassle free. However, we paid for the mobile Wifi and it didn't work so we don't recommend getting that add on feature. If you're traveling in NZ and don't have a local phone, get a pre-paid sim card, it will work better and be overall cheaper.
A.
My whole experience from booking a car and delivering it back was a really satisfactory. I was in touch with Vangie. The booking was smooth.
The car I hired was in a very good condition. The Clean, pretty new and low kilometers. Didnt give any problems while driving. Loved the fact that their were, Unlimited kilometers and zero excess.
When I gave the car back, didnt take too long for inspection and Vangie again asked me about how my trip went etc.
I will definitely recommend Omega to my friends, family and also tourists, being from Hospitality industry.
Y.
We rented a Nissan Tiida for 3 weeks. No problems at all, mechanically perfect, and a nice team in Auckland helped us very well. We delivered the car in Christchurch, also very nice people.
L.
We were quite pleased with our car rental fron Omega on our 4 week stay in New Zealand. They picked us up at our hotel in Auckland and no problem dropping it off at the end in Queenstown. Although it was a 2006 it ran fine and the price was reasonable.
C.
Walked in saw an associate with her back to us working on a computer so I asked for some assistant since we wanted to pick the car up we had reserved. She came out, looked around and said “we have other customers they must be helping them”. So I guess she doesn’t work there? She turned around and went back to her computer.
Waited for another guy and he was condescending the entire time, asked another guy about some info that I didn’t feel comfortable asking the second guy. 3rd guy was great, and helpful. Car was great, and the drop off was good, just had to wait a few minutes for an associate to show up in the office.
I.
Great customer service at both Auckland and Wellington, easy collection and drop off, good quality vehicle, special mention for member of staff at Wellington who completed paperwork and made arrangements for collection of car on south island.
C.
So, we got exactly the car that we asked for, it was clean and appeared to be well maintained. It was a good price, add the customer service at pick up and drop off was excellent.
J.
Excellent company, we use them every time we visit New Zealand. A hassle-free return recently, everyone was very friendly when we dropped our car off at Auckland airport and there was a taxi waiting to take us to the terminal.
G.
Highly recommend. Absolutely hassle free experience from booking; pick-up (Auckland CBD); 10 days driving around the Nth Island and drop-off (Auckland Airport). Compared with a disappointing previous hire from a so called "top tier" company, these guys were head and shoulders above. All prior communication with Belinda and team was prompt, responsive and helpful. Shuttle pick-up from our accommodation was right on time. Staff at the airport depot were cheerful and engaging and the entire process of drop-off and transfer back to the airport took no more than 15 minutes. Apart from a faulty 12V outlet that would not charge the GPS unit we hired (had to charge overnight on mains power), the car (late model Hyundai Tucson) did not miss a beat.
R.
I must say AWESOME as this was my first time in NZ. We had a smooth drive and comfortable journey even in rainy weather. Only issue I encounter was related to fuel gauge. I got car 70% fuel filled and have to give back with same. I filled twice ($8+$15) and it could'nt reach to required level and on third time it raised to 105%. That was really embarrassing as fuel cost comes up near to rent cost for one day as we did'nt move not more than 60KM. But I appreciate the Omega staff who realize the situation and owe me 30% for next booking. Lets see how things happen next time.
Cheers
S.
We've been using Omega for years. It's generally great, but this specific Auckland branch isn't their best. It seems to be staffed by poorly trained backpackers (at least that seemed to be the case when we were there), who screwed up some of the formalities for us. Other branches have always been great. In general Omega offers some of the best rates and customer service in the country.
R.
I am a returning customer and everything was fine. The car war in perfect condition, check-in and car return really easy. Location in downtown Auckland is great and the staff really friendly.
R.
Reasonable pricing, friendly efficient staff and clean well-serviced cars at a convenient downtown location. Two thumbs up!
V.
Did not have any issues with them. Pretty cheap rental.
The car was spot on.
Be aware that even with the full insurance the tyres are not covered.
I'll be renting from them again.
W.
Value for money and no frills car rentals. Although it was very annoying as we need to come out with the exact amount if we were to pay upfront with cash. No change was provided and can't even give a tip. Imagine the rental charge was 388.44 NZD. We have to scrambled to get 388.40 NZD and charge 0.04 NZD to our credit card. What a mess... Whoever that designed this policy needs to be shot...
S.
Friendly,flexible and even dropped us at the train station when we returned the car. Car was reliable, in good condition and clean. Would highly recommend this company. Don't spend the high prices, this is a good service.
S.
I was impressed by my hire from Omega during my recent visit to New Zealand. The price was good, the car was fine and the service was prompt and courteous. I would use them again.
A.
These folks are great, see Guido and the people behind the counter are fun friendly to work with. They made this process so simple, very convenient location. Thanks see you again.
R.
They are fantastic. They make hiring a car quite simple and easy. There are no hidden fees; they let you know exactly what you are or will be paying for. Keep up the good work guys! Will definitely recommend you to friends and family.
P.
We enjoyed our 3 day break and our trouble free rental car.
Omega rental cars gave us great service from the start to the finish of our tŕip.
Thank you so much.
Peter and Da.
V.
Great experience with Omega. We didn"t know them before the ISite booked a car for us in Wellington. We ask for a Nissan Sunny and were upgrated to a Subaru Forester. We were very lucky. The car was wonderful. Will rent another car from them next week.
J.
Older car provided - 5 years and 135,000km but still going well. Efficient process and much, much lower rates than Avis or Hertz. Location along Beach Rd just after Customs St East is handy for CBD pickup but on return you might need to park on the sidewalk next to the office because you can't drive it in from Beach Rd - ask them if there is a back way in to return the car. The only odd thing was that the petrol/gas tank was NOT full on pickup - it was showing the middle of the top quarter on the gauge - notionally 7/8 which the provider was interpreting as 95% while it was closer to 87.5% - so I had her correct this. It is best to carefully draw the gauge level on the paperwork which has gauge diagrams. I have been caught out with expensive petrol/gas tank top-ups by rental car agencies before but nothing untoward happened this time. I would use them again but I'd try and get a newer car
N.
Great staff! Great car! Awesome rates! What more does one want from car rentals.
If i come back to NZ you guys will be my first rental choice.
R.
We rented a Nissan Tida for 5 weeks from Omega Cars. Everything was perfect and due to the fact that we had a CDW to Nil (recommended) the damage of the front window was no problem.
The Tida Sedan has enough space for 2 suitcases and 2 bags in the trunk. For two persons no larger car is needed.
The stuff was very friendly and professional. We recommend omega cars to 100%!
M.
Car was great, only negative was the shortage of staff at the office - one person dealing with customers at the front desk was also having to deal with a customer on the telephone. Not good for waiting times. But overall a good experience.
A.
Easy to book. Good rates. Lovely car, didn't give us any problem. Clear instructions
provided and terms and conditions explained.
J.
The Service was excellent with pick up and drop off at the airport, Staff very friendly and helpful. Car was just what we needed and cheap on fuel also with the free hire of children booster seats made the trip a whole lot easier! Would difinitely use Omega Rentals again
B.
A real no nonsense company that delivers on its promises. No hard sell of extras , you just check the car over, sign for it and you are on your way. Similar experience upon return. What a joy compared to the big multinationals
We used Omega because they allow you to take the car ferry . They even booked that for me. Thanks.
M.
Easy in,...Easy out. It was quick and painless to pick up the car in Auckland, although a bit of a pinch getting in there at their city location. It was very quick and easy to drop it off at Queenstown. They shuttled us straightaway to the airport. The car ran beautifully! The rental included the ferry crossing at Wellington, so no need to drop the car and pick up another in Picton.
W.
As a Non resident Kiwi and a long term Toyota driver with a passion for driving around New Zealand, Omega were on point when they handed me the keys to a late model Toyota Corolla. What a sweet ride, although the Engine Micro Boost arrangement caught me off guard...briefly. Booked online, car was waiting, 3 signatures and I was gone. Thanks Omega.
B.
Great service, nice people. Hired car was a Toyota Corolla, automatic. Was only 2 years old so had modern functions, eg. USB charging port. Air con was excellent, good power and steering.
Highly recommend.
S.
We have used Omega numerous times, hiring from Auckland City, and always find the staff very friendly and the service great. They have a good choice of vehicles, and we have never had any problems with the car.
I would highly reccommned Omega ;-)
I.
Excellent! We bounced off one of the big hire companies, found Omega on the Web, had a very good and helpful discussion with your man and never looked back. Picking it up was easy and dropping it off even more so. Most importantly, we got the car we needed. Would we use you again? Certainly!
R.
I rented a car from Omega when I first moved to Auckland. I called the Auckland City Centre branch to book a rental car for the same day, and I asked for the rate that was available on-line. They mentioned that in order to get that rate, I would need to make the booking online. Online, there was a pre-2000 car rate per day, and a post-2000 car rate. I paid extra for the post-2000 car rate, and I received a 2001 car in fairly run-down condition when I went to the dealership to pick up the car. If I had known that I was going to receive a 2001, I would have saved $10 per day and gone for the pre-2000. Unfortunately, this is the issue with not being able to book directly with the dealership and booking on-line. If I had booked with the dealership, I couldn't have received the preferential rate. Pick your poison!
A.
have rented from Omega on two occasions now and found them to be excellent value for money, older model of car than maybe other companies, but they are maintained well and the price of hire is reflective of this, all cars (we had to change our car half way through hire due to the fitness cert running out) we had 3 in total were all good and were fuel economical which is what you need when you are travelling the length and bredth of the north island. Christine in the Beach Road office was very good too.
g.
Fantastic service! They picked us up from our hotel at the start and drove us from their office to our hotel at the finish. The car was clean and went well and the price was a lot cheaper than the big companies.
R.
the cost benefit ratio is good. I had a little mazda for 30 days everything was good and uncomplicated as well as the service. thank you i had a great time with my little car
K.
My friend from the States was visiting and we decided to do a road trip across the North Island. Chose Omega rental cars as it was an easy online process to book the car and the cars and insurance were a decent price. Checking in and getting the car was a breeze and the car handled incredibly well throughout our 5-day trip from Auckland to Tauranga to Wellington to Taupo and back to Auckland. I will definitely be using Omega the next time I need to rent a car.
C.
Easy pick up in Auckland, car performed well and suited us. Drop off in Christchurch was also very easy and not far from our hotel. All in all very pleased.
A.
Good prices, clean car but wipers a bit worn. Nice helpful staff, fast checkout/in process. Overall great value for money, will hire again.
M.
Hired a nice van to transport whanau; well maintained, clean and fuel efficient vehicle for a good price. Would hire again.
K.
Very friendly. This was my second Omega rental in NZ. Cheap. Cars safe but economic. The online registration didn't work but the responded to emails and phone calls pretty fast.
B.
The pick up process was straightforward and the car was as expected - not new but certainly in good working order, and well cleaned. Drop off process was also no hassle.
D.
The car was great. The service was quick and sharp. The shuttle to the airport was there waiting for us and right on time.
We will use Omega again and again.
D.
OK, folks. I used Omega on a trip to NZ from the states in 2008. That was an excellent experience, so when I needed to rent a car on a budget I barely price-shopped:
A 9-day rental, pick up and drop off at Auckland airport. They were near lowest on rates, and past experience made it an easy choice.
The service is *very* good, from phone call for the reservation right through to drop off confirmation call - people taking time to greet you, being informative, and friendly. Shuttle pickup was just a tad long a wait,but not more than 20 minutes. Seriously no worry.
The car was also just dandy - readers please remember this is a budget car place and I rent in the "oh, that's really old" category to save money.
Mine was just that: an old car, sedan, high miles. Nothing much to look at, no frills: but it ran great and safely. Put somethiong like 850K on it, no prob. Slight wobble felt at speed, probably a wheel balance was slightly out. Not at all concerning while on road, BTW. Handled very well.
My ONE complaint:
I had a very early flight out, and had to drop off the car before they opened - at the airport. (Very convenient, thanks) But here'rs the thing: When I picked up, the counter person used their hand-out map to show me where to park when dropping off. Seemed well and good at the time, but in the early morning hours, running a tad late, I couldn't reconcile that map with what I saw in front of me at the terminal. The map is awful.
Now please, the map thing is a trivial complaint. Don't take it to mean anything other than a warning for folks to be better aware of it than I was, nothing more.
Omega rocks! Will use 'em again.
H.
Staff were friendly and helpful to this first timer to New Zealand and Auckland. Omega had been recommended by a friend in Australia and Staff lived up to their reputation. Happy to use this service again.
K.
Oldy but goldy. Toyota Vitz-131.000 km.Clean and tidy.Car is in a good total condition.Very good tyres.
Friendly staff. Quick Service.
--remote control batterie weak!
C.
Omega were great from start to finish. No issues at all, great cars and even dropped my family and I back into the city for free. I couldn’t see the more expensive established companies even think of doing that
N.
Great experience with Omega Rental Cars. Very affordable special deal and the car was great too. Would use their services again
R.
Great customer service and the car provided was amazing to drive and fairly new ! Easiest and quickest pick up and drop I’ve experienced. Thank you !
A.
QuicK and easy exchange Car had a few old dings on it but interior was tidy. Peppy little car. Allowed for a day extention. Would use them again
L.
I found the car ideal but really appreciated Eva's help in adding the name of an additional driver halfway through the trip. Good value and very helpful throughout.

J.
Very happy with our car we had to transport the 5 of us around the North island. Fourth time with Omega and all have been a good experience whether from Christchurch, Queenstown and now here. Car was in almost new condition and 4WD allowed us to avoid having to put on chains while skiing - definitely worth it when seeing others trying to put them on after fresh snowfalls!
M.
Booking was easy online. Received confirmation by email that the car was available. Walked in the next day and it was parked waiting for me. Easy process, great rates and friendly staff. Can't beat them.
J.
Only rental in Auckland which provides a free child seat. Its a legal requirement to have a child seat not sure how other rentals get away with charging separately for child seat. Unbeatable prices and clean car.
H.
Quick process, easy to find, staff are ok.
Car condition is average with some damages in both sides
I recommend it if you on cruise ship stop.
C.
First experience of this company today - so far so good - REMEMBER YOU CAN'T HIRE WITHOUT YOUR CREDIT CARD - didn't have mine but staff worked hard for a solution. Great little car.
Q.
I hired a small sedan for 10 days, no problems with car or paper work. would use Omega again. This is the second time I have hired a vehicle from them without problems or hidden costs
S.
Good customer service. Well-maintained cars. We hired for a period of four months and it went smoothly.
B.
This is second time with Omega Rental Cars. Good services, friendly and helpful staffs, reasonable price. The car is clean, reliable and in good condition. Highly recommended.
S.
I arrived 1 hour late and they are closing, but they are kind enought to still take the extra effort and let me rent the car. Amazing car company. Feels like home
M.
Pick up from Auckland airport on xmas day worked out fine. Our people mover, 7-seater Previa was in great condition and suited our needs. It got us around north island and we had no trouble with it. Service from the branch before our trip and after was just brilliant. Thank you! Happy to recommend your services to my friends :)
S.
As simple and painless a car hire experience as I've ever had. Cheap with no hidden costs, free pick up and drop off's from hotel and to airport, great little car, friendly and helpful staff.
M.
Great service, very busy little rental company. Team very helpful and was a cheap option to get around. Car was clean and tidy and well kept, will be back.
P.
It was simply amazing ! never imagined driving in a foreign country would be so hassle free and convenient. The follwing points come to my mind:
1. Simple online/direct booking - you get to choose your vehicle
2. Attractive pricing
3. Minimal documentation
4. Co-operative staff
5. Good condition vehicles
Cheers and thanks for such a wonderful experience in New Zealand !!
Regards,
Praveen

Very straight-forward and easy car rental company. Quick pick-up and drop-off, good customer service and fair pricing. Recommended!
J.
Our car was a Toyota Corolla. Had no problems with car and staff were happy to change our rental dates when we altered our travel plans.
V.
Very apt rates. Value for money. Cars in good condition. If visiting NZ with a moderate budget then probably nothing better then them. I have researched on various sites and after that shortlisted Omega. So if you have searched a lot of sites and unable to decide.. just go for them.
A.
Excellent service, good advices, competitive price and nice car : Happy customer
v.
Really upfront and honest company. They do not charge you extras like others do.
The vehicle i hired was in good condition - no issues.
Easy pick up and drop.
D.
The office was not open at the time we were due to pick up our car because the staff member with the key was late for work. Very late and we heard that this was a common thing ! The service was efficient eventually. The car was adequate.
原.
It was a first time for me to hire a car in New Zealand. As one of my friend recommend about Omega Rental Cars for me, I would like to recommend Omega Rental Cars for others.
C.
Prompt service including an airport shuttle. Nice cars (we got a Corolla GSX with great mileage and handling). Everything worked smoothly!
P.
Very easy pick up and drop off of the car. Impressed that they will transfer you to/from your hotel at no extra cost. Car was in food condition and met our needs perfectly.
N.
Quick and easy booking process. Fast instore service. Great cars and lovely staff. The only downside was the gps we got. Bit outdated and not that easy to use.
I.
No issues with the rental. Much better value for money than the big international rental companies, if you're OK with driving a car that's a couple of years old. Convenient location.
D.
Rented Toyota RAV4 for 3 days.
Excellent and fast customer service. Reasonable price. Strongly recommended.
J.
Highly recommend Omega Rentals, great Customer Service from pick-up to drop off, good competitive rates, had extended rental twice and no problems, great car to drive, clean & tidy...will return for future hire - thank you Omega.
L.
Have used Omega a few times, and it's always seemless, and as far as I can see it's cheaper then the competitors, so definitely recommend.
C.
Very straight-forward to deal with. Car all in good working order. We were able to change the return location (from airport to city) with no problem. Very pleasant staff. All in all a very good experience
F.
Perfect! Just what you want from a car rental company. Good, friendly staff, easy booking system and a good working car. Prices are very good as well!
R.
Cars are what you pay for. With this said, we hired one of the cheapest cars and it ran with no problems for the entire weekend. No problems at all picking up or dropping off the vehicle.
A.
These guys are top notch! Best prices around if you don't mind a a slightly older vehicle and impeccable customer service. Big shout out to the lads who took care of our airport pickup/drop-off; friendly, fun, and super helpful.
R.
I have recently hired a mazda demio at a great deal price. The car was well maintained and spotlessly clean..Omega would be the default choice for my next trip.

My second hire from Omega and it went just as smoothly as the first. Hired a Corolla. Travelled 1,100 klms in 5 days and it never missed a beat. I will remain a repeat customer.++++++++
A.
Great easy car rental, group of us hired the vehicle from Auckland City near Spark Arena and the drove to Piha and area for the day - vehicle was perfect for us, no issues at all and easy pick up and return
j.
A month in New Zealand with an Omega car, brilliant. Car was clean, economical and in fabulous condition.Every staff member was helpful and couteous, Great company, don!t go anywhere else
E.
Nice and easy to deal with, made a last minute booking change and wasn’t an issue. Vehicle was nice and clean, free shuttle back to the airport was great.
T.
My family rented a wagon from Auckland airport and drove it to Wellington over 7 days. Omegas service, price and our overall experience was excellent. Thanks guys!
L.
Very easy to deal with for booking, pick up and drop off. Car was great value for money as we didn't need a brand new car to get around.
P.
Easy pick up in city, and even easier return at the airport branch. Value car rental over 5 days would definitely rent again
N.
Omega was by far the cheapest of the companies I tried. The car (Nissan Tiida) was great - clean and well maintained. All good as far as I'm concerned 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
A.
We had a Nissan Tidda and it was fine for our purpose so thank you Omega. What you said would happen when we booked did happen
with no problems. Cheers Andrew & Jan Burton. from Cromwell
M.
Very professional staff, good car. I appreciated the clear description of insurances, no surprises at desk, as usually happens with other companies .
S.
Great experience, great value with range of available hire cars. Car clean and drove well. Prompt replies to email enquiries. Definitely recommend
F.
Cheap and good car but not the best service. We had to wait more than one hour to get the car that we had already booked. The rest was very good.
J.
The car was in an excellent condition and as stated on the web page and while booking. Staff was nice and efficient. No problems picking up or returning the car.
J.
great service and a really great car. We had the Toyota Vitz, clean and up to date model. Highly recommended.
C.
Courteous service, well kept car and they keep to their tag line. The manager even took the trouble to send me to the bus station at 7.30 am when he opens shop. Much appreciated.
L.
I highly recommend this company. Everything ran smoothly, great car and the staff were very helpful. I would use them again.
R.
Only reason to go them was no SUV was available in major players.
Very good service and good clean vehicle.
My next visit, I will try them first.
L.
The whole chain, from booking on internet until we left the car nearby Auckland airport and in a couple of minutes transferred to the airport, was very smooth! To be recommended!
C.
A small gem! Competent, and friendly staff - and the vehicle (Rav4) served four adults and their baggage, from Auckland to Queenstown - including ferry - very well. Thanks again guys.
P.
Friendly flexible staff and service, I had no trouble extending the rental by 2-days, great car too. I would highly recommend!
N.
Pick up service OK, dated car but no problems and drop off, after some discussions. Be aware that OMEGA tell you the tank is full, but is actual 5 liters short of being full
K.
Make sure you prebook your pickup at least 24 hours before. Other than that, no issues , no hassles, no hidden fees and charges . Would definitely use this company again.
L.
Excellent. Pick up and Drop off very quick with Gold Insurance. Shuttle provided from Queenstown Airport ready immediately. When booking all questions answered immediately. Very helpful
D.
Great service on pick up and return. Car was very clean and performed extremely well. Couldn't fault any part of dealing with Omega.
T.
Both your service and the cars provided are up to my satisfaction. I will not hesitate to rent your cars again and recommand Omega Rental Cars to friends.

K.
Easy pick up process, quick and easy drop off, great car, good value...would definitely use again next time in NZ.

They picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel, which was a nice perk. They car was a bit older than I"m use to for a rental, but you get what you pay for.
J.
Very good service at pick up and drop off. Great car. Would definitely recommend using Omega.
C.
CHEAPER THEN JUCY. Really good fast service. Called up and made a booking for a car 3 hours before I needed it and they said no problem. Better then Jucy because Omega give you a car, not a way to advertise. WIN!
S.
Great stuff car wise, staff and so on. Only downer is they keep sending mails, asking me to rate them on Google, even though I already had done so. This made me adjust to a four.
D.
First class service, good cars, affordable rates, excellent pick up location and they look after you personally.
A.
Great rates for a great car! Didn't have any problem with it at all during the hire period. Thanks guys!

Best car rental place in Auckland! Great value deals and friendly, helpful staff.

Great company, the front people at desk were open and honest. No hassle on the return. Car work with no problems. Would rent again.

We were impressed with the speed and efficiency of the Omega checkin. The car was in good condition and we will definitely use them again.
M.
So easy to deal with. Picked up in Auckland, dropped off in Queenstown. Super easy and no stress. Happily recommend Omega.
j.
Car was a little shabby but it didn't let us down
Would have been good to know the drop off at Queenstown was not in the airport but a mile away and we had to be bussed back in - had to ask an attendant at JUCY to find this out.
P.
Amazing service and good prices! I will rent a car again for sure!!
C.
Excellent service, but 8 seated Previa was run 130km not in tip top condition, need to touch up a bit for whole body paint work.
H.
Great car and great service. I always use Omega when renting in New Zeland.

Excellent Service provided by Omega during our recent trip and very good value for money - we will use Omega again for future car rentals

Very good experience - we would rent from here again, they were the cheapest of three places we tried, had a good and clean car and very friendly. We would rent again from here. Debbie, Australia
