Reasonable price and car was in great condition, staff were friendly and efficient, no problem after we changed location on returning the car. Our only issue was we should have ordered the sat nav but that was our mistake.

they were very helpful I hired the car in .. Christchurch and drove all the way to Auckland. I was disappointed I took the car back 2 days earlier, because I had to catch an urgent flight back to Australia .I feel I should have been credited 2 days.

Rented a car for 10 days with them while visiting New Zealand- they were recommended by friends who live in Christchurch - and thoroughly recommend them. No hard sell of excess insurance, great price and straightforward to deal with.

Hassle free rental
Picking up the car was easy. Great car, very clean and comfortable and in good condition. Staff were very helpful and understanding when we had to return the car early.
flexible, friendly, reasonable price
flexible, friendly staff, reasonable price, car quite used but clean, door lock was tricky
Quiet good
Good experience, but the woman on the reception when I was in Christchurch to pick up my car make a big mistake... She charge me 300 $ NZD more... I say that the price was wrong and after she change the price for the real value. Normally it is a mistake, but it is a big mistake of 300 $ NZD...
Very Good Experience!
Generally cheaper than the competitors. Good quality of service and very friendly and attentive staff. They gave me a higher range car without additional fee, because they found that following the returns of the cars available in the range I was supposed to get, they needed further security maintenance. As I was renting for a month, they accepted that on my request and depending of their availability, I could change back to a smaller car and that's what we did very smoothly, after 2 weeks. The car were both functional, well maintained, clean and comfortable.
I booked a car from Omega Rental Cars.
I booked a car through Booking.com around 6 months ago to pick up from Drive NZ. I arrived at the Christchurch airport to be told that there was no booking in my name or reference number. After spending $100 in taxi fairs and many phone calls, I rang Omega Rental Cars. They were very helpful over the phone and cheaper than Booking.com, for the same model car.
I found the Asian lady at Christchurch City a little abrupt with me and the other staff members, but the young lady at the Christchurch Airport where I dropped the car off at no extra cost, was very helpful and polite, and she was good enough to drop us off at Jucy Snooze, our accommodation for the night. The car was in good condition with only a fiew scratbes and minor dints. I will be hiring a car through Omega when I return to New Zealand in the future.
Great service!
Although we had no booking we received a vehicle just a couple hours later! Thanks a lot Angela!

Omega Car rental were very good.
We were very happy with the car and everything went very smoothly. We took out the top insurance cover so we also had piece of mind. Their rates were very reasonable and infact the cheapest around. We collected the car in Christchurch and dropped it off in Nelson. Then they took us to the airport. I can recommend Omega Car Rental.
Staff were efficient and friendly
Staff were efficient and friendly, in and out with the car in a few minutes.
