Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I rent a 4WD or AWD vehicle from Omega?

Browse our range of all-wheel and four-wheel drive cars for rent above. We supply 4WDs and AWDs for hire at 10 locations in the North and South Island, including Auckland, Christchurch Airport, and Queenstown.

What's the difference between AWDs and 4WDs?

AWDs and 4WDs both send power to all four wheels. AWDs send power unequally between wheels, adjusting strength based on road conditions. 4WDs send power equally and allow the driver to switch between 4WD and 2WD modes, offering more flexibility of control. Learn more about the differences between 4WDs and AWDs in our guide.

Do all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive cars need chains?

Yes, you'll need snow chains for your AWD or 4WD if driving in a location with lots of snow.

Are AWD and 4WD cars good for long-distance travel?

All-wheel and four-wheel drive rental cars can suit long-distance travel in rougher conditions. However, our economy vehicles are more petrol-efficient for long distances.

Can I take AWD rentals on unsealed roads?

Please keep our AWD and 4-wheel drive car rentals on sealed roads only.
