Wellington Car Hire FAQs

 

How much does it cost to hire a car in Wellington?

Benefit from our incredible rates and save money by adding extra days to your Wellington car rental. We recommend booking in advance during holiday periods, so you can secure the rental car that best suits your needs and budget.

 

What is the most popular rental car in Wellington?

The Mazda Demio/Toyota Vitz 'Premium Budget' car category is very popular in Wellington as it is easy to park and quite nimble when navigating Wellington's one way system and steep streets (which can often seem narrow when cars are parked along them).  For heading further afield our Premium Elite range of Toyota Corolla Hatch, Sedans and the 'Plus' GX model are a comfortable way to explore and still very easy to drive and park.

 

How can I find car rentals near me in Wellington?

Omega has two easily accessible locations. We offer car rentals in Wellington city, as well as at our depot located 2kms from Wellington Airport.
