Reviews of James Blond Rentals
R. T.Great guys to rent a big van from. Excellent service. Good prices. I'd say rent anything from James Blond. All good in the hood.
S. R.I have used them few times vehicle's are good and great pricing. Just surprised with bond has increased so much lucky had the money to pay the bond 😆. Overall great service
W. B.James Blond is always our go to for moving vans. The team is great and up front, service is thorough, prices are reasonable. Good bunch of people.
P. M.I've used James Blond Ltd services multiple times for when I'm moving houses. Incredible service, amazing value and you get everything you need. Trucks with tail lifts make the job so much easier. Plus the staff are friendly and pleasurable to deal with. Will definitely be using these services again. Thanks James Blond Rentals!
T. S.I will continue to support our local business. The staff was very friendly. When I returned the van two hours later, it was given to me complimentary without charging me 25% of late fee. They worth My 5stars. Oh and I wanted to borrow the hand trolley to finish my house move and the boss gave it to me no extra charge for one extra day. Best rental place.
S.Excellent service and reliable. Also friendly staffs. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍
T. R. -. T.I've now used James Blond Kelston twice so I feel I can leave a balanced review. Firstly the price is reasonable, the trucks I hired for moving furniture were perfect! But most of all, the customer service from the staff was friendly and caring. That stood out to me in particular today - the fact that they were helpful, friendly and kind. Great work James Blond Kelston!
M. L. R. (. l. S.Rented a 2m box truck to help a friend shift flat - chose James Blond as they are local to me but they also had the most competitive pricing and options. Pickup was a breeze, the truck was in great nick and the staff were very helpful. Definitely the easiest rental process I have had, will be coming back if I ever need anything else and have just recommended them to my parents for moving their house too. Excellent service.
T. H.I was expecting a newer model as it was advertised as 2017 or similar. I was given a 2011 model with 220k on the clock. The van is ok to drive and economical considering it age and mileage. Customer service is fine without any issues.
J. C.We rented a family car on their long term rates and found both the service and the car exemplary. Even when we returned the car a few weeks earlier than expected the team were great and made everything so easy with no unexpected admin charges. I would gladly recommend James Blond for very good pricing and excellent customer service!
Z. S.Very friendly yet very competitive and extremely helpful. One of the cheapest car rentals in Auckland with very nice and clean cars. Hired a van for 4 days. They were very efficient and the vehicle was great. I have no problem of recommending them and definitely all my hires will be through them. Thanks for a great service.
G. S.The car was exactly what I wanted and it performed very well.
The cost was very reasonable and Phil and Tracey were very helpful , when I am back in NZ and require a hire car I will be straight to James Blond and if you are reading this and want a car you should do yourself a favor and call them as well. A very satisfied customer. Grant Australia
P. M.I have hired from James Blond for several years (9), during that time, all vehicles have been modern and in good serviceable condition and therefore, certainly fit for purpose. The staff at James Blond pick up and drop off have always been pleasant and very knowledgeable helpful and attentive.
Whilst in New Zealand James Blond in my opinion is the best, I would not hire from anywhere else.
Even in these difficult times they were good to deal with and recently they went beyond good service for me.
Can't praise them enough.
Thank you
PHM
S. C.The staff at the counter when we returned our vehicle was very friendly. What can be better improved in the future is that when we rang up to inform that we are returning our vehicle early, the staff on the phone should let us know that we can get a refund if we are returning it a day earlier. That saves us a day of rental and that also helps James Blonde to allocate this vehicle to another customer.
P. R.Rented an RAV4 for 8 days in December 2018. Very good service from beginning. Made a booking from Sydney and they did not ask for a deposit. Got a very good clean car for a reasonable price. Only had a problem returning the car on Christmas eve because the shop was closed before the normal time. But a staff came out of the way and helped to return the car. A bit of panic for an hour but we had happy ending.Thank you James Blond for making our trip to New Zealand a wonderful memory.
D. C.The James Blond team are amazing. We arrived to pick up our mini-bus on a very, very rainy day in December. They team were very friendly, helpful and escorted us to the vehicle with umbrellas and raincoats. I couldn't fault the vehicle. We had no problems, it was very clean and served the purpose of transporting our extended family up the North Island. Would highly recommend James Blond for your rental vehicle needs.
G. S.After using James Blond car rental, I'm never going to be using one if the big boys based within Auckland International Airport. I was totally impressed with there communication and ease of pickup & drop off, of the vehicle. And of course there prices were very reasonable. Thank you Tracey & Thor.
Y. C.Fabulous Service
We chose to have the car delivered to our hotel this was a great option for us. The men that turned up with it were lovely, because we didn’t know Auckland at all and they were going our way, they drove slowly so we could follow them out of the city (thank goodness I think we would still be trying to find our way out!!).
The car was an older model, but nothing wrong with it at all, we toured the North Island over 3 weeks and clocked up more than 2,000 kms, the car never missed a beat (and it is very mountainous in places, with very tight corners).
We returned the car to Auckland airport, where a van was waiting to drop us at the terminal (7 minute ride).
Everything went so smoothly, we were thrilled with the car and the great service and would thoroughly recommend James Blond.
B. M.Absolutely brilliant company to deal with,. Nothing was too much trouble but i was most impressed by they way they made absolutely sure that we would be absolutely safe to tow the furniture trailer and checked all out lights and indicators were working before we left the yard. I have to say I felt like they really cared and were just out to take my money. I will most certainly recommend this business.
M. n. G. P.I have rented cars from James Blond for over 10 years, and have always been happy with the reasonable pricing, condition and age of vehicles received, and with the service accorded. Everything is clearly explained at the onset, and there are no hidden charges. Happy to recommend to all.
K. W.I have been using James Blond for over 3 years and probably around 4 times a year when I am visiting family in Auckland, sometimes for 5 weeks at a time. They give me a great deal. They are the best car rental company around. Their rates are amazing...I dont want the latest model (although they have given me one every now and then!!) I've never had a problem.The pick up and drop off at the airport is fantastic. And the guys that work in the office are super friendly. I would recommend James Blond to anyone.
B. W.I visit Auckland every year to visit family and always hire a car off James Blond. The cars and especially the customer service is excellent. The staff go out of their way to help you. Thanks once again for a great service on my recent trip to Auckland.
M. H.I found the team at James Blond to be very friendly and helpful.
I found the 2 trucks I rented to be older but very very easy to drive and well maintained.
Excellent value for money, at up to half the cost of some of the other places I looked into.
The excellent value no excess insurance policy offers a lot of peace of mind amidst what can be a stressful time (in our case moving house),
Most important question, would I rent again? Yes I would, without hesitation.
S. M.I have high regards for James Blond as a rental company. It was very no nonsense and easy to deal with them. After researching online or a while I came across this company and chose them for the quality of the car and price they were offering. Even though I had to travel a bit to get to them in West Auckland it was well worth it. (they do offer airport pick up but I was already in Auckland) Within about 15 minutes of arriving we were ready to go in the car and driving on our holiday.
Easy airport drop off ensured us an easy end to our holiday.
Thanks for the great ride I will be using you again when I come back to Auckland to visit family and friends.
L. H.We were very pleased and happy with the quick and friendly service that James Blond gave us. The car that we received was exactly what we wanted instead of something similar to the one that we requested and this is a downfall with all the other car rental places. I will definitely use them again and will let my family members and friends know of them. The price was a bargain for a 2014 model and it was ideal for our trip around the Northland.
L. P.We rented one of the premium 8 seaters for a weekend trip to Napier. Great service from start to finish. Car was clean and ran great. Instructions on arrival were simple and straightforward and the staff helping to get the car ready were friendly and awesome. Price was affordable and it was definitely worth getting the GPS as an addition to get us to Napier and back. Would definitely book again with James Blond Ltd.
J. H.A truly streamlined service catered to our specific travel plans. No curve balls or hidden costs. The vehicle supplied was consistent with all booking material; spotless and ran perfectly. Would thoroughly recommend the James Blond service to all. We had expected some increased downtime in making the decision to hire with James Blond - saving some money and not hiring with airport-terminal hire operators but actually found we saved time and $$ so win-win. Thanks team! See you in a few months,
C.I discovered James Blond when I lived around the corner in West Auckland several years ago, and thanks to their excellent airport drop-off service, I've been able to continue to use them whenever I'm in Auckland visiting. Their prices have always been among the cheapest, the cars more than acceptable and I've noticed the quality going up in the past couple of years with newer vehicles on the fleet.
I have recommended them to many friends, and none of them have come back to me to fault that recommendation. We have used them well over a dozen times, and service has always been fair and friendly.
M. S.Everything worked well. Even when I had problems with my Credit Card to rent the car the company wrote back several times and helped to to finish the contract. We had a wonderful 4 weeks holiday and drove the car for almost 3000 km. Everything was fine. Thanks a lot!
P. W.As usual for car rental, advertised prices conceal huge insurance excesses, but despite this James Blond is pretty good all things considered. You get what you pay for vis-a-vis mileage and vehicle capabilities. Better, without a doubt, than big-brand airport options. No complaints here!
G. H.We have rented from James Blond for many years now, when ever we have needed a truck or van. They make the process so easy and are relatively inexpensive. They have a great range of trucks and vans available, and we have moved a huge amount of stuff thanks to them.
K. B.The best car rental we have ever dealt with! Highly recommended. Thank you for being so understanding and helpful! We had a crash at Christmas and James Blond Ltd was the only place who were willing to help and didn't want to rip us off in our already stressful circumstances. A very decent place, would rent again without hesitation. Although hope we won't have more accidents. Than you!
P. B.Rental was booked on line and was an easy straight forward experience. Prepaid Airport pickup service to car rental site was slow with over half hour wait on sidewalk. Car rental pickup was quick and vehicle was excellent. Would definitely use James Blond again however Airport pickup service needs to be looked at.
C. T.The price to hire was awesome! Very cheap and the truck was perfect.
The service from the grumpy old man when I picked the truck up was a let down, but the nice young men who received the truck back and filled it up for me made me feel better about the company. Up until that point, cheap or not, I wasn't going to recommend or use James Blond again.
Put people in the front desk who can actually interact well with others. It makes the customer experience better.
R. D.Great service! Thor helped us out and pointed out that I had paid the wrong amount for the length of time for my rental. I ended up using it for the 24 hours but really appreciated his honesty. The truck was great, clean inside so none of my things were damaged or dirty.
B. G.The vehicle performed well despite being 15 yrs old. It was delivered to my hotel, as requested, and the return was just as smooth as I would have liked. All in all, I was very satisfied with the service I received. The rental rate was the best I have had in my various trips to NZ and I will definitely be in touch if and when I come over again.
J. B.We are from the UK and we hired a car from James Blond for 18 days over Christmas.
There are some very high prices on offer generally for car hire and horror stories with excesses and claiming back damage deposits which we are very wary of.
So we opted for one up from the backpacker special to keep costs reasonable but with full insurance cover for whatever might happen - nothing did.
I'd never heard of a Toyota Ractis but that was what was on offer, 11 years old and with 137k kilometres on the clock.
This is a small car on the outside but tall and it turned out to be more than spacious enough holding all our luggage easily in the rear.
It coped with all the hills no problem - you can't exactly go very fast anywhere in New Zealand with the speed limits and the roads are just fine for 100kph/62mph. Car behaved faultlessly and my only comment would be that the a/c was cool rather than cold but if that's all you can complain about on an old car things are pretty good.
Hiring from an Auckland depot with additional $20 dollar each way transfer to the airport worked out a lot cheaper than pick up and drop off from the air port and only added half an hour to the process.
Total cost for 18 day was under $1,000/ £480 and well worth it.
Instructions for the pickup were to wait under the clock - I couldn't see a clock so asked a man in a high vis jacket if a clock used to be attached to a rusty bracket on the roof - he said all the clocks were removed some years ago because they had to keep adjusting them for daylight saving twice a year!
For me an older reliable car was far more relaxing to drive as it took away the worry should anyone else or myself have done something stupid and lets face it not many of us function at 100% after being on an aeroplane for whole a day.
James Blond were really on the ball for all the booking and pre-hire emailing of info - the 'clock' detail in the instructions needs an update though. We always knew what to do and where to go.
Very pleased with the whole process and excellent value.
H. A.I have dealt with James Blond for the first time, for a truck. Compared to other providers, I used in the past in Auckland, the service is higher in quality, the vehicle is better equipped, the service is more flexible, the prices are more reasonable. You feel they are trying to offer you a service rather than find a fault in order to rip-off . Good service. Highly recommended.
M. S.The staff at James Blond Ltd were very helpful in choosing the right vehicle for our needs and had a good range to choose from. Everything went through quickly and smoothly and we were extremely happy with the overall cost.
V. K.I felt it is great deal at peak time. Vehicle condition is very good and I got timely response from JamesBlond team. I would recommend you to share Vehicle pick up location details while selecting Airport, the details are not clear enough, it leads to multiple calls with common vendor before pick up the vehicle. Thank you once again for your support.
L. M.Booked in a car which wasn't available but the team at James Blond upgraded my booking at no extra cost. Hassle free introduction. Car was great for my long trip around the North Island. Buttons on stereo stopped working on day 3 of rental, however when i returned vehicle the team at James Blond refunded $10 back which i found very kind of them to do. Best Rental Company!!
S. S.I rented a car for 4 weeks. Picking up the car was quick and easy. When the windscreen took a stone on an unsealed road and developed a long crack, dealing with the office to arrange for repair while out in northland was pretty efficient and the insurance took care of it with no hassles. The car was quite new and performed very well. Dropping it off at the airport was quite easy and again, no hassles.
Thanks for a great rental experience. I can recommend your company very highly.
D.Nice people, decently priced and helpful and easy to deal with.
1.A very efficient service hired a people carrier very reasonable price, hassle free easy to pick up and drop off will definitely use again without hesitation. Vehicle getting a little old a few marks and a few dents but not a problem to us at all. Well done James Blond very happy customers
T. L.Awesome fast service today, local and easy process from my phone call to getting the vehicle, fast response and great impressive service. Have used them before too and always same process but today I needed something fast and they came through really well. Highly recommended.
F. A.I Highly recommend James Blond for easy, cost effective, quality rentals. Last year we rented a truck from them for a week and this year a furniture trailer....we have nothing but the highest praise for them for the whole experience. I was especially impressed with the prompt and friendly thank you email we got after returning the trailer this year. Thanks James Blond!
O. A.We hired a small truck to move house today. It was straight forward to book and good value. So much better than hiring a trailer, especially because it rained heavily. We could move everything in one trip too which saved lots of time. Definitely recommend James Blond as great to deal with. Thank you!
G. F.We rented a Nissan Bluebird Automatic for 5 days from Boxing Day till the 30/12/17.
The booking process was easy, the correspondence regarding sending my driving licence to them was simple and efficient.
We arranged to pick it up from Auckland Airport through the company they use for airport pick-ups, which they gave us the instructions for and was so smooth and organised! Once at the other company’s office at 17:00, we were away in 5 mins!
All information needed was there waiting in the vehicle, and payment had already been taken. The car was old, but this was reflected in the price (£29 a day), but nethertheless was reliable and comfortable. Fuel efficiency was not great, but again, this was reflected in the overall rental cost!
We returned the car to James Blond’s headquarters in West Auckland, and staff were so friendly! They saw that we had only effectively rented the car for 4 days (due to rental being taken as 24 hours from pick up time equalling 1 day), and then refunded us NZ$48! They even dropped us at the train station free of charge!
Couldn’t recommend highly enough; efficient, easy, friendly service!
S. R.Awesome service, got some discounts off my payments due to the Christmas eve, which were not supposed to be there when I booked it online and did not expect at all. The person at the counter was super friendly and supportive during my rental period. I would definitely recommend this place for a vehicle rental as I know this place as who values human qualities over all.
Cheers and Merry Christmas James Blond Ltd.
D. V.Very simple and straight forward service. Much cheaper than any of the other companies I found. Even though there is no James Blond office at the airport or in downtown Auckland, the team was very helpful in delivering the car to us at our downtown hotel and we could drop the car off at their partner's location very close to the airport. From there we got a short shuttle ride to the airport. No complications, no waiting and no problems.
We chose a newer car (2014) and therefore a slightly more expensive rental rate so I cannot comment on the older models that can be rented at the cheap rates, however, after traveling around NZ and seeing very many quite old rental cars from other companies, I am sure that this is a much more common situation in NZ where one can save a few bucks.
D. E. J.James Blond were absolutely great to me. As a graduate student renting a car from overseas, cost effectiveness was important to me. I got what I paid for: a very reliable, small and efficient car that was nothing flash but did the job very well for almost 3 months. Don't be scared away by the fact that James Blonde is not one of the big car rental companies - they offer a fantastic, personable, reliable service and a quality product for the money you pay. Highly recommended.
W. K. L.My family and I rented a Toyota Camry just after Xmas, for some 11 days. To begin with, the price was reasonable and James Blond was really very quick to respond and amend; we make several amendments on the type of car we wanted, etc, but the response was always quick and no-fuss! Picking up the car at Auckland airport was relatively hassle-free except for the fact that we arrived slightly ahead of schedule, could not find the pick-up van, and when we approached the airport information for help, nobody seemed to know about James Blond. It was our own fault really, as the pick up was to be by a different company! Anyway, things ended well and picking up the car was easy - we just went into the office and picked up the keys, and the car was already waiting for us outside - nice and clean!
The car turned out to be very good - silent engine, sufficiently spacious even for a family of 5 adults, and for the one sitting in the middle of the passenger row! The luggage space was ample too. Driving it around North Island was a breeze, and finally returning the car was also a piece of cake - just park the car in front of the office, and hand in the keys, before they shuttle us off to the departure hall!
If I ever visit NZ again, I would certainly go James Blond.
P.I chose this company initially because the location is convenient for me but I would happily use them again. I booked online easily, the service desk personnel were efficient and helpful, the car was clean and mechanically sound, and the price was very reasonable.
April 2018. I recently rented a small truck (2 ton) overnight and the staff were kind enough to serve me even though I arrived to pick it up 15 mins after they had closed. However both the cab and the cargo space were a bit grubby - I noted this particularly after the emphasis on penalties for smoking, returning it dirty, etc. when I signed the lease documents. I haven't driven a manual for several years and I found the gear box was rather loose, but the truck ran well. Finally I was told the company could replace the diesel I used and as I was only travelling less than 100kms I didn't refill it and was rather surprised to be charged $1.50 a litre when gas stations were charging $1.30 to $1.35. Obviously only a small difference for me but that could really mount up in another situation. The final bill (for rental + the per kilometre rate + the diesel used) didn't seem like much of a bargain.
H. U.Very friendly and helpful to deal with! I ordered 2 minivans and the team at James Blond spent lots of time ensuring I had the order just right. Thank You - I will definitely look to using you again :)
A. A.The pick up and drop off service was quick and trouble free. Staff were good to speak too. They gave me a grace period of 1 hour over my return time. The only reason i have given them a 4 star is that the trucks mirror wasnt secured porperly die to which it shifted at high speeds and made it impossible to look out from the left side, was a little dangerous. The water sprayer for the wipers was empty so had to fill it myself. Otherwise all good. Will definitely go back if i need a truck rental
J. H.I had compared the price and other conditions among 8 car rental companies. Finally, I chose James Blond and now I can say I made a good choice. The service, the price, and the car quality are all good. The pick-up and return procedures at the airport are simple and quick. No need to sign any paper. Just one thing, I hope I can have a map in the car next time. That will be very helpful for a foreigner who can't find anywhere to buy a map at the airport. Anyhow, thank you very much. We did enjoy our trip with your cars.
Z. T.Highly recommend this friendly and no fuss rental company. I booked a backpacker car as a long term rental for a three month study programme and as renewing the rental was easy I booked a further three weeks to travel after. I will be using this company again and was given a discount for my next rental as a thank you.
T. B.I love this company I have been renting from James Blpnd for many years when I come to New Zealand. on an annual basis. The cars are well serviced and I would recommend them to anyone. Picking up and dropping off at the airport is very easy. Np paperwork just pick up the key and go Thank you and see you next year
A. N.We rented a car for 3 months at very competitive prices. It was not new but did the job well. The James Blond team was very helpful during the booking process and the pick up and drop off were both easy. Did not rate as a 5 because the tyre pressure was all over the place when we got the car and we ended up replacing one at our own cost and the car stereo did not support an external source.
L. M.In a week that it was impossible to find a rental car in Auckland, James Blond was a winner! They made the process quick and easy, and were very responsive to all questions. I'd definitely recommend James Blond and will rent a car through them again :)
C. B.James Blonde were excellent. Our car developed a small fault but they agreed to replace the vehicle immediately. The airport pickup was really easy and worked well. We will definitely rent from them again as they are great value compared to many of the other hire firms we looked at.
S. G.What else one can expect from a single family owned business such as "James Blond", they try every possible thing to deliver the best or more then what they promise.
Vehicle quality and reliability is second to none.
The cost is lower then any other establish big companies such as budget rental cars, Hertz, Europe car or even Jucy etc. compare the cost online.
I will use them again and again. Thanks foe the good service with a nice smile.
Simple trustworthy, honest and reliable car rental company,
they don't have branches in other cities hence car has to come back to pick up location which is bit of pain but that compensates with competitive prices and their excellent services. :-)
R. v. d. H.We rented a car for an 8 weeks period early 2013. The vehicle was almost new and exactly the model we wanted. We tried very hard to find a better price but it has never been beaten, not even for a much much older car. Swift pick up and drop off. The same experience as the year before. Will come back next year. Excellent!!!
B. S.We wanted a budget car for 4 weeks travelling around New Zealand's roads. James Blond's backpacker range suited nicely, 10 years old, scratched, dented, but economical, comfortable and most importantly reliable,. Perfect for our requirements. No hard sell to upgrade car and insurance on pick up either. I recommend James Blond and will use them again if we are lucky enough to return to New Zealand
A. L.Needed a Mini Van last minute for a few hours to pick up a bed and James Blond came through, most rental companies you have to book in advance etc but booking through James Blond made is so easy and less hassle. Great service and would highly recommend.
A. J.I enjoyed every minute of my rental experience with James Blond. The staff are so friendly and are happy to assist you with whatever you need, show you how the car works and make sure your time with them is the best it can be. They really care about their customers. Hard to find service like this these days.
D.Sat 8th August
Used a 3 tonne auto with tail lift: my first experience driving a truck - wow! Never before, first time lol and possibly my last as there was a mishap with my refund on bond ;( Winz told me I couldn't have it when it was refunded back to payment card if they paid it upfront and that I should've got it in cash but not before it had been repaid back to the card - bye, lost it! Mistake no 1 ;( Upon phoning thinking truck was going to be late back by 5 was nicely surprised to hear it was a 24 hr hire and that Winz failed to inform me, mistake no.2 these guys are awesome, but Winz 👎 stink! Cheers guys - Heeman, Tee, Tim and Tracey(the boss Lady)
G. S.James Blond was great. They let us add on a trailer at the last minute, and delivered the cars right to our hotel! That was awesome, because it would've been a pain to try to go and pick the cars up at 8.30am. There was unlimited mileage (very important), and the vans gave us no problems at all. They were large, clean and comfortable. The booking process was also very stress-free and easy. Thank you, James Blond!
R. S.The best rental company I have used in the World. The cars are quality, there is no salesmanship and you are quickly on your way. Drop offs are easy too. Overall the prices are very good for the service you receive. The only negative is the quality of the GPS you receive.
K. W.Great friendly service from staff. Paper work was managed efficiently to minimise wait time and the truck was in good condition and economical.
I do wish they had somewhere to leave my car but that's a small niggle. I'll definitely be using Blond, James Blond, again.
R. J.A great team to deal with - professional and extremely thoughtful. Staff went the extra mile to help me get the best deal on my rental truck and ensured I had all the information and equipment I needed. Definitely my choice for vehicle hire now.
G. N.The vehicle was definitely older (2006), expected with the lower car rental rate. It did perform, so no complaints there. Oddest unexpected was that the side view mirrors lowered automatically when backing up. Not as helpful as a backup camera as on newer cars, but helpful nonetheless.
I found them rather scattered in their processes for check out and check in and their yard was very crowded. Perhaps just lucked into busy times when I was there?
Rental vehicle was not cleaned well - failed to clean inside of windshield creating a safety hazard driving into the sun right off. Had to procure my own window cleaner as we were already on the road. I mentioned when returning the vehicle. I thought they might give me at least a courtesy credit for my extra expenditure and inconvenience, but nope.
While there was lots of body damage, dents and scratches, prior to rental noted, they had no sheet to mark it so, instead encouraging me to take photos, which seems less than efficient. 20 or so photos later, when returning, I didn't see them check for damage.
Air conditioning button worked sometimes, took repeated presses and good thoughts.
Also to note for future renters, they do not offer a grace period for partial days early or late return. That's fine as long as one knows.
R.Hired a furniture trailer. Was a bit rough and ready. Had to sweep and vacuum floor and sides before using as found it unacceptably dirty for transporting furniture and personal belongings. Trailer also had an annoying small hole in the front corner floor. Customer service was excellent.
A. S.Good service. Very helpful and easy going. Car was good for the price paid. $10 extra for zero access insurance is great as you drive worry free. Not lengthy paper work. 5 min to get the car and same for returning time.
M.Well established and mature business.
Easy to find across from Kelston Girls College. Some onsite parking - for 'visiting' and when leaving your vehicle behind during 'hire'.
Good online deals available - with with nominal scope for negotiation. Big selection of cars, vans and trucks (class 1 and medium HT...), manual, auto... Mixed grade, clean, tidy and versatile hireage.
Cordial, professional team members.
L. H.So I Hired a Horse Float trailer to move my son's Furniture Etc to Hamilton. This company had the exact trailer I needed and were very clear & helpful with details around the hirage. They had a huge range of vehicles to suit every need and I'll def be back. Very impressed with their West Auckland Operation.
M. E.I have used James Blond twice now. The price is really good, the service is simple and efficient and the vehicles were perfect. I found the pick-up and drop-off really simple too. I'd recommend James Blond to anyone looking for a good value, reliable rental in Auckland.
D. T.We hired a van for almost 3 weeks. From pick up at the Airport in Auckland by Aeropark to dropping the van off was so easy and effortless. No problems. Van a little old, with visible marks inside and out. But ran smoothly throughout. Will definitely use again. No time wasting of filling out of contracts at the office. Money was taken out the morning of pickup, contract had already been completed when we booked. Van was where James Blond said it would be. Turn around from Airport to Van was minimal. And we had bags and 3 kids. Thanks James Blond. See you next time
Darlene and Brad
N.We hired a car from James Blond and everything when according to plan the price was great compared with the other major brands
Didn’t have any problems both Machcanical or service would definitely use them again
A. J.I've only ever hired through Avis and Jucy in the past who have always had immaculate, lovely vehicles. I've used James Blond twice recently. Twice was emailed the rego of a vehicle and on the day of hireage got a different car. So I expected a certain model but got a different vehicle on the day. The first vehicle I hired was in the backpacker range and very small. Needed more attention to cleanliness on exterior and interior. Wonder if it was full of petrol when I collected it as I hardly did any kms and it used nearly as much petrol as the larger vehicle I hired 2 weeks later and which I would have done well over double the mileage. The second vehicle I hired on a different day needed more attention to the interior as it had some spots which should have been cleaned. I felt there should have been a light showing when the e-brake was on. Although I made no mistakes I believe it could be easy for some drivers to drive with this on. Yes I would use this company again. Great location and pleasant service. Excellent rates and I like that you can take out insurance which gives you peace of mind that if anyone hits you you're covered.
F. B.Renting a vehicle doesn't get any better than this! Great people, great vehicles, easy to use website. Very professional, yet very friendly. This was our second time hiring a van from James Blond and both times were great! Looking forward to our next transaction :-)
G. H.We hired a car for just over a week. when we arrived our car wasn't ready. No fuss for the James Blond team we were quickly supplied with an upgrade for no additional cost. The car was great. Great value!
Would be my go to rental car firm.
J. L.I needed a small truck to help a mate move house. James Blond = top service, best price. The thing that swung it for me was the $30, zero excess insurance deal. The lowest excess I could find elsewhere was over $4k. Not that I'm ever intending to go out and demolish my rental, just that you never know when you're throwing furniture around. OK, the truck wasn't exactly flash, but hey, it's a truck, we're not looking for luxury. Next time I need a vehicle I'm going straight to these guys. Plus the special agents in the office have a decent sense of humour. All good.
D. G.They gave the best price, and we were expecting an older car but the car we got was less than 1 year old. It was a wagon like we requested and was extremely economical. Very easy process for the pickup and drop-off. Will be using James Blond again.
T. T. o. K. M. W. “. E.I was welcomed by a lovely friendly gentleman who had waited for me to arrive for pick up at 5pm. He also processed my rental agreement promptly and was a real gem to deal with, thank you for that old school good feeling kind of service. He did prefer that I drive a better truck as it would be easier on the drive down to Whakatane some 300kms away, however it was not pulled out in time for me to tak. I did drive the DYNE which was ok and did the job. Only problem i had was the leak in the roof as it rained over night, my lounge suite was water soiled. I've let them know and they were already aware of the corner pre existing damage that perhaps may have caused the leak through to my contents. This was the only thing really and there was no radio nor did the lighter receptacle work for charging a phone. I would like to have seen some sort of compensation for the soiled lounge.
4 stars for staff service
3 stars for truck itself
D. M.We rented a vehicle off James Blond. Very reasonably priced and friendly communication. Straight forward pick up and drop off arrangements.
A couple of things to note.
The back seat of the car does need a clean as it is water stained.
Would be good to have a form where scratches and marks etc could be noted on pick up. We took photos.
We would use again without hesitation.
M. B.Reliable and Good Price. Hired a Ford Transit to take a sports team down to Rotorua for 3 days. Booking online was easy to follow, when I arrived for pick up the guy who processed the order was professional and friendly. When I returned the Transit, I was greeted upon arrival and my bond was reimbursed within 5 min of arriving. Friendly staff, will definitely book here in the future.
S. C.Have been renting cars from James Blonde for years now but this time I splashed out and got a new car direct from the airport instead of collecting from the Kelston depot. Once again we had the usual great service with no hassles with everything kept as simple as possible - and for a great price too! I highly recommend them.
D. S.We rented a newer model small car from James Blond car rentals because of a referral from a friend and were very happy with all the details surrounding the pickup, drop off and communication with the company when we asked if we could extend our rental time. We got a great little car that seemed almost brand new and got us around easily and economically because it was a hybrid which was an unexpected bonus. It was also nice that there was no car rental stickers on the car which automatically would make you a target for theft in some touristy places. I would definitely recommend James Blond to anyone looking to rent in New Zealand.
N. D.we have hired from James Blond a few times now and always find the service exceptional. Nothing is a problem to them. The vehicles we have hired are always presented wonderfully and it is so easy collecting them from Auckland Airport. We will use your company again and always refer others to you
E. a. S. W.I had a long term rental and was pleased with the quality of the car and the reasonable price. Service was excellent all round. Will rent again for sure. This was the third year in a row that I have rented fromJames Blond -it has been a pleasure
R. R.Great experience with James Blond, very affordable, convenient pickup and drop off to the airport, great car with everything we needed for our little family holiday around the north island. Would definitely recommend and will use again on our next visit!
N. P.Easy 1am pick up with shuttle service from airport. The vehicle was an older version but provided all that we required. We researched several companies and James Blond provided way better value for money, were very easy to deal with and kept us informed via email when appropriate. A very stress free experience, one I will repeat in the future and highly recommend to others.
P. W.My family (6 of us) rented a van for our NZ road trip and couldn't have been happier with the van. First, everything worked. We had enough room (just enough) for our 6 people and plenty of space for all of our luggage, which was a lot of luggage as we had to pack for NZ (cooler) and Moorea (beach). The process to get the van was easy... just call from the airport phone and meet the shuttle who took us to the lot. Gave the worker the confirmation number and we were handed a the keys... took less that 2 minutes to get the van. After touring for 6 days, we just returned the van to the same place and were shuttled back to the airport. Worked great for us. Highly recommended.
A. G.Absolutely fantastic service. The cars may not be mercedes but they are realiable and affordable. If it wasn't for this company I wouldn't be able to afford to rent.
I always book from overseas and never have any problems at all with bookings.
The drivers who pick me up at the airport are always courteous and friendly.
P. H.I didnt get the opportunity to meet or use car booked as my whole trip was cancelled. When I called to cancelled my rental and boss Tim handled my cancellation with such good gesture. He was so nice.
Definately would use them if I do need to in future and would recommend friends too.
All the best to TIM N JAMES BLOND TEAM.
MERRY XMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
J. M.I have rented from James Blond a small vehicle whilst my own was being repaired over 3 days and 2 years later a 2 box truck to cart huge boxes packed to the hilt to go into a container for shipping overseas. Such an easy experience and just a breeze with customer service. Altogether, a wonderful easy process, especially at this time of moving. Thank you James Blond, a pleasure doing business with you.
Sincerely Josephine Murray
V. K.we required a 12 seat minivan plus trailer and James blond provided us with an excellent vehicle. we were on the road for 12 days on a golf trip and both the van and trailer were large enough for 10 sets of golf clubs and 20 luggage bags.
service was impeccable any questions I had were answered swiftly which is impressive when you are trying to organize a tour from across the Tasman Sea.
would highly recommend to anyone especially large groups.
thanks for everything again team
Gold Coast Golfers
L. M.Terrifically flexible and accommodating when we needed to extend our rental multiple times. When we had a mechanical issue, they were more than happy to swap for a different vehicle as soon as possible.
W. R.Excellent service and very affordable reliable vehicles and at the end of the day that is all you are looking for. Easy online register no Hassel get picked up at either international or Domestic airport by Aeroparks where your vehicle will be waiting on return drop off car to Aeroparks and you will be taken to the airport how good is that no stress. I would highly recommend James Blond Ltd. Satisfied customer who will be booking when again traveling to NZ.
W.Thank you James Blond! We had a fantastic, smooth, trouble free, quality car rental experience. I will definitely use James Blond car rental agency on my next visit to NewZealand and recommend their awesome, professional service to others.
D. R.Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of renting the truck for a few days. Service was great people were very friendly and clear with information given and pricing was very fair.
Will rent again from them should a need come up again tho I live in Hobsonvile.
Thanks again James Bond Rentals!
M.The staff who served me were absolutely fantastic, they went out of their way to make sure that I was not left out of pocket offering me a great deal for the time i had used one of their trucks so that it benefitted me, thank you to both the mum and her son, I should definitely use your services again should I have need of a rental vehicle
Regards
Marianne Andrews
D. M.Very clean low km vehicle. Awesome value for money and fabulous service. I've used many rental car companies in New Zealand and James Blond are up there with the very best. Thanks heaps.
V.James Blond have awesome staff that are willing to help out and take the time to listen to your needs. Friendly and approachable. Communication is fast and efficient. Very trustworthy and keep to their word. Thanks James Blond, you don't know how much of a difference you make every time we hire from you.
S.Great company, answered all my questions (they we're a lot) in advance. Easy to pick up and bring back the car. Cheaper compared to the other "bigger" companies. Car did its job, no problems. Def Recommended !
J. T.This is the fourth time we have used James Blond and each time have been perfectly satisfied with the service, the vehicle provided and the price. I recommend this company to anyone requiring a rental in Auckland.
O. B. A. H.The best car rental service and quality in NZ. We travel to the North Island from Sydney regularly and always use James Blond Ltd for our rental car!
Easy process, great customer service. Highly recommended
K. &. S. H.Many Thanks to John and his team for the excellent service and high quality of your cars. I have used James Blond frequently since 2008 .From the booking ,to airport pick up and drop off it has been a smooth and simple process.
S. C.28/09/16
Since my review from last October we have used James Blond on another 3 or 4 occasions and each time we have been 100% satisfied.
Sam Certo
We use James Blond whenever we can and they have always been excellent to deal with.
Our last rental from the 3rd-10th October 2015 was no exception. The 2015 SUV we rented was spotless when we picked it up and everything worked as it should have.
Best value for money in NZ
W. a. B. J.We rented a car for 6 weeks and were very impressed - the car was reliable, pick-up and drop-off at Auckland airport were easy, and James Blond Ltd was good to deal with. We recommend the company and intend renting from them again on a return visit to beautiful New Zealand.
N. C.Good friendly service. The truck we rented was in excellent condition. The daily rates and mileage were significantly cheaper than other big rental companies. Would hire from them again.
S. S.We used a small truck to move some furniture yesterday for half a day. Everything went perfectly, good tips and instructions were given, we hired the one with the tail lift, which was a lifesaver and only an extra $10. Very reasonably priced, would definitely use them again.
J. A.Once again excellent service from James Blond. Vehicle was as described, tidy, in good mechanical order, and great value. Who cares about a few worthless airpoints when you can rent for almost half the price of the big brand companies! Pickup at the airport was a breeze with extremely helpful and courteous Aeropark staff who actually prioritised us (2dults, 2 kids, & a baby) over their own customers! Thanks again JB, see you next time.
K. S.We had some problems and stress because the idiots that rented the truck we had booked, damaged it and then failed to return it on time. A big thank you to John at James Blond, who provided a different truck as an option and a bit of a deal to make up for the delay to our move. Thank you James Blond, you are awesome. I highly recommend this company!
B. H.Buses were clean and worked well. Minor malfunctions with the side step in both buses. Not much customer service from the Aeroparks staff accept for one woman worker that went out of her way to help. Buses were very reliable and economic. I would rent again without a concern
L. M.We hired 7 vans for our kura to go upto Waitangi, the people at James Blond were very accommodating and helpful. The vans were ready when we arrived to pick them up and we had no problems on our trip.
C. W.I have rented cars from various car rental companies whenever I visited NZ over several years. This was the first time I rented from James Blond - a little-known car rental company (Google-wise). I chose it primarily because it offered one of the cheapest rates in Auckland.
I liked the fact that I got to pick up and drop off the car near the Airport and it was entirely fuss-free. But what I liked better (and it completely blew me away) was James Blond's excellent customer service. There was a hiccup with my rental car and the response from them was astounding! James Blond not only responded quickly, they also remedied the issue so efficiently that it far exceeded my expectations. Of all the many car rental companies that I'd come across, James Blond is by far the best that I'd dealt with. I am totally impressed by their professionalism in this business despite my hiring only a low-end car. They did not label me a 'cheapo' unlike one car rental company which insulted me last year.
If James Blond continue with competitive rental rates and excellent service, it will be the fastest growing car rental company in Auckland. When that happens, my wish for them is that they remain humble and personable. I will definitely recommend my family and friends to hire a vehicle from you when they visit New Zealand. And of course, I will too!
T. T.We rented a 10 seater Toyota Hiace from James Blond. The service was very good, very professional. The vehicle was in excellent condition. Vehicle return process was also easy,friendly
D. P.You could not get a better car hire company, anywhere. We booked our car from Perth, Australia on a Monday, and picked up our car via a free shuttle service at Auckland airport on Tuesday. Absolutely hassle free. The car was clean, the tank was full and we were able to travel directly to Waima, Northland at 4 a.m. Returning the vehicle was just as easy. A full tank of gas was all they asked. Too easy! And finally, just to let you know.. it only cost us $500 for 7 days. Just awesome. Thank you James Blond. You don't know how much it meant to us.
R. B.James Blond Ltd is a fantastic car rental company. We have now rented from them 3 times and our adult children have also rented from them 3 times. They are easy to contact if you have any queries and the whole process of renting is very easy and smooth. Will definitely rent from them next time we are in NZ. Highly recommended.
G. F.Great service and great car!
They talked me into a newer car upgrade, but were very reasonable with the upcharge— and I couldn’t be happier.
Very friendly and very patient explaining the features of the car.
L. W.Great guys to deal with, we will always use them when we come to Auckland, it's easy to book with them, get clear instructions and confirmation of details. Easy to be picked up from the airport and dropped back again.
And then there is the price advantage - no one else came within a bull's roar of such a great price for the quality of vehicle we hired. The Navman hire is well worth it too, with up to date maps for the roads around Auckland which is vital to those of us unfamiliar with the twists and turns of the roading system up there - not to mention the vast areas covered!
Cannot praise these guys enough, it made it easy for us who are from a very small town to go to the 'big smoke' easily!
A.We hire from James Blond every time we return home and have always had a great experience. Easy to use & a good selection of vehicles. We recommend James Blond to our family & friends
p. r.have used them 3 times for,van,truck and 8 seater
always very helpful, explain things about vehicle before you leave, make sure you know ,this is good service when picking up a different vehicle. They went extra for us when we were late getting back and didn't charge us the extra fee, so very happy with their service and friendly staff
will always use them now, and their price are very good as well
thank you
peter rosby
M.Excellent service and so helpful , would certainly recommend and the best car hire company that we have dealt with. Will definitely use again when we can come back to beautiful New Zealand
M. W.Our drum team rents trucks from James Blond about 5 - 10 times per year. We've always had fantastic service, incredibly quick check-in and check-out, no mucking around. And the vehicles are always in good operating condition at reasonable rates.
We've just simply stopped renting anywhere else- these are the guys for us.
A. P.Excellent rental again. Third time with James Blond and wouldn't go anywhere else anytime soon. Just rented the Fiat Jumbo van.. BRILLIANT! Got my bed, fridge, washing machine and boxes and boxes in there and still not full! and super cheap on gas! Excellent vehicle and excellent price!!!
M.Booking was very convenient and they have the most reasonable rates ever! The staff was also very courteous and service oriented so I would highly recommend this company if you ever needed a rental vehicle in Auckland.
I.This is our second time renting from James Blonde. John is very accomodative and a very nice person to deal with. The airport pick up and return services is superb and cheapest if you compare to other rental companies. We will definitely be a return customer if we travel to Auckland in future years! -Malaysia-
J. D. C.This is the first time that I had used James Blond and after 6 years in the travel industry I thought I knew all the awesome businesses around. They gave us a great deal in traditionally a really expensive busy time. Their rates are amazing...We didn't need the latest model and our little Nissan Note really did the trick getting us around AKl and Northland for a couple of days with ease.The pick up and drop off at the airport is fantastic and I would recommend James Blond to any of my fam and friends heading to NZ.
N. S.The service here has always been great. They are fast and efficient.
I have rented twice from here and the vehicles were in great condition.
I did a bit of shopping around when i was looking for a 12 seater the second time, James Blonde was comparable in price and had the vehicle in stock.
T.Reasonably priced rental cars with good service.
E. W.Pick-up and drop-off from the airport were easy. The price compared to other car rentals was very good. The cars are a bit older, hence the lower price, so be prepared for one or two things not working properly. Our air con did not work but JB exchanged the car without problem. We would recommend JB.
K. S.Great service with clear communication in NZSL Well done! Even replaced vehicle at no extra charge when 1 vehicle was not working well. Will use this business again in future thank you very much!
W. V.I rented a couple of times from James Blond and now James Blond is my "go to" outfit when I travel to Auckland. The prices are reasonable.
Last month I rented a car for a week with zero excess. I accidentally damaged the left rear quarter of the car when reversing on a rural road that I was unfamiliar with. After I returned the car, John Pederson of James Blond sent me an email asked me for an explanation for what happened so that they can file an insurance claim and repair the damage. I apologised and explained to them what happened. Zero excess as it was, no more questions asked!
I must say this was pretty good service!
R. M.Great experience renting from James Blond.
Hired a transport trailer and spent time finding place to hire from when found them. They were the best priced for a longer period. $20 cheaper for 24 hours compared to place for 8 hours.
Good location and friendly/helpful staff.
J.Hired a 12 seater VW (plus luggage) for 20 days and took 8 Korean students all over the North Island with my wife and son. The vehicle was modern, had plenty of power and had great deep windows for viewing the beautiful New Zealand countryside. Van had plenty of power for the hills even when fully loaded.
I did my homework and the cost from James Blond was better than any other car rental place in NZ.
Great service and look forward to renting again next year when I repeat this annual trip to NZ.
M. R.absolutely terrific experience with JB this weekend. Hired a 10-seater for a group golf day, exemplary service from Saul (i think his name was Saul?), in and out in 5 minutes. Very competitive pricing, a company truly willing to be flexible for their customers. HIGHLY recommended - thanks team!
P. C.Arrived in Auckland Airport and everything went so smoothly. As we have come to expect from James Blond, everything happened so seamlessly - the pick up & delivery to the practically new vehicle that awaited us, the paperwork, the drop off & delivery back to the Airport. Once again James Blond has delivered. Our family has used James Blond on many occasions over a number of years now & will continue to do so. Thanks to the James Blond team - and may the year treat you all kindly!
L.Thank you so much for the rental. Smooth drive, a lot of space. Great communication from day 1 rental, quick & easy. Definitely recommend to others looking for great affordable rental to travel. Thank you Staff at James Blond Ltd
B. W.We have been using James Blond for some time now and we keep coming back because the service is great, the staff are friendly and the hirage is affordable. We will keep using them for all our transport needs and happy to recommend to anyone.
B.Booking was a breeze, Friendly customer service, Van was a pleasure to drive and served it"s purpose well. My wife said the front of the cab could have been a bit cleaner. All up we would hire again.
M.Expensive compare to other provider. Doesn't want to compromise even when they are out of options. They charge you bond compare to other provider where they just hold the credit with credit card. Overall not great experience.
K.Great customer service. Solid vehicles. Worked hard to make sure we had what we needed. Glad to recommend them for your next van hire.
G. H.We had an unfortunate breakdown while touring around the far north, resulting in us being stranded near Opononi. James Blond Ltd transported almost brand new car to us from Auckland at 5pm to arrive in Opononi by 1am that same night, and returned the broken down car back to Auckland, allowing us to continue our journey with minimal disruption. I would like to thank them for their absolutely best effort, a real pleasure to deal with!! The AA garage guy who diagnosed the problem was equally impressed with James Blond's response, saying other rental car companies wouldn't respond after hours in the same way.
F. B.Everyone was so helpful. Making sure my husbands rental expereience was good to go. They helped when needed and cause of that his trip was a success. Grateful to the team at James Bond New Lynn
S. I.Great vans options - hassle free company where you can easily rent any car which will suit your needs. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Thanks Team! Will rent a van again for sure
J. Q. L.Good experience renting a large 12 seater van from these guys. They use AeroPark to pick you up from the airport so the experience with them is out of their control.
It rained heavily on the first day and this uncovered a leak in the driver's side door. I called them up and they offered to replace the van straight up. I was quite far away from the depot and they said they didn't have enough staff to bring me the replacement, so I had to drive it there when I was free later on. When I did get around to this, it was smooth sailing from there.
The second van seemed a bit older and much less grunty than the original van (maybe turbo is on its way out), but was still fine. The vans were clean and didn't smell. Enjoyable experience all up.
V. H.My (...and now the extended family's) 1 AND ONLY go to rental car company since 2005!!!
The staff are accommodating, easy to communicate with, fantastic service, GREAT AFFORDABLE PRICES and always ALWAYS willing to go the extra mile with a smile!!!!
If I know or hear of people looking for a rental I tell them that their first port of call has to be JAMES BLOND!! there is no other car rental out there that will match their home grown business and service. You guys rock!!
aka Viola :-) and the rest of the whanau
L. H.Second time using James Blond and happy to return to them as the process is so easy. Really easy to deal with and pick-up from the airport easy enough too. Only issue we had this time was that the radio had a tiny bandwith so didn't really work, so we picked up a couple of CDs only to find that this didn't work either. A bit annoying since we spent a lot of time on the road this trip & like to listen to music. Feel this is something that really should have been checked in the car first before hiring out. Nevertheless would still recommend them.
D.I hired a Super Economy small car for the day. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I thought the cost for the hireage for the vehicle was reasonable but the price for a zero excess was excessive (normal excess $2000.00)
M.Very good prices are available over here possibly the lowest on the Auckland market especially because of the cheapest deposit, but to be fair the whole fleet is quite aged and the location is quite a bit fare from the main routes (I mean far fom the city centre, but it's up to where you are living)! Anyway very kind and useful staff.
G. “. G. O.If you need a car ... this is it
I love the service!
I've used them several times and they've never disappointed me. Well maintained vehicles and a very friendly staff that's all too happy to assist.
L.A wonderful service. Thank you so much. We achieved our goal effortlessly because of your service. We heard about you via another satisfied customer.
Thank you
Ross and Penelope Minifie
R. M.I have leased cars and trucks many times from here, i find the staff pleasant, efficient and easy to talk to. Their prices are affordable also location is perfect.
P. B.Overall service from start to finish was absolutely brilliant. All staff I dealt with at this company were very friendly, polite and obliging. I would highly recommend to others. An absolute endorsement for a local firm. Thumbs up.
R. B.2 lovely new 12 seater vans for school groups, easy to book and available on time, like that we can pick up and drop off at 4.30pm to avoid rush in the morning and also not pay another day. Thanks for prompt cheerful service
R. H.We are regular customers of James Blond Ltd, they are always friendly and ready to accommodate us with a vehicle or mini vans to our request. Would definitely recommend to my family and friends.
W.Excellent service, fast and friendly. The car was clean and tidy and we had no problems. Recommended and I will definitely be using them again.
L.Good people and cheap rental love it
A.Highly efficient, helpful and lovely service. Great condition and quality fleet, best of all very reasonably priced. Thank you for your service!
B. H.This business knows rentals in a way that I've never experienced in America. They quoted me the lowest price per diem and provided a hassle free experience every step of the way. I will definitely be stopping here first for any rental needs.
T. J.I've used this company again this year as I was so pleased with them before, this time no different, friendly service and great car, went out of their way to make sure I would be happy. Best deal in
NZ. Would recommend them anytime.
N. M.They made it easy, real easy. Everything was sorted and done. It's nice when things work. The instructions were good the service was great and the car just right. Thanks for being a part of a holiday that went well.
B.Hired the 19 seater bus this weekend and it was fantastic! Was perfect for what we needed and James Bond rentals where super easy to deal with. Will defiantly use them again. Cheers
A. D.We were offered a car well below the quality of the vehicle originally shown. The car was replaced by another one which looked much better however it had a Japanese GPS which could not be turned off and we were bombarded with Japanese instructions throughout the whole trip, which was very frustrating.
M. &. T. K.The service and vehicle was top knotch. We couldn't have been happier with the 12 seater that we rented. It was the perfect size for our group of 10, with plenty of room to spare. It delivered us to our Whangamata destination and home again safe and sound. A big thanks to the James Blond team.
G.Have been using James Blond rental several times and they always offered me the best service for a very affordable price. Very reliable and friendly. Highly recommended
A.Rent a truck to move my stuff to a new place. Booked it online and the truck I got was better than I expected, quite new and very roomy. Returned the truck more than 1 hour late but they didn't charge me extra. Very good service and I will use them again in the future.
J. N.We needed a small car for three weeks and the Nissan Note from James Blond served this purpose perfectly. The price was right and the service was very friendly.
K. A.James Blond Ltd exceed my expectations during my time in Auckland, New Zealand. Renting the vehicle from James Blond Ltd was excellent and satisfactory. The vehilce was as described and brand new. I would highly recommend them to my friends and families.
T.Very happy with the service and vehicle hired from James Blond - pick up and return of car a breeze. Customer Service is FANTASTIC, especially by Alex, cheers.
K. S.Have used JB many times in the past, this was the first time for a few years. Nothing has changed, except maybe the website is now easier to use for an online booking. Cars are fine, service is friendly, prices are very reasonable. Can't ask for more ....
M. W.Rented a Hiace cargo van, nothing to complain about at all, prices, insurance package is great, nice vehicle, would highly recommend and we are renting from them again in 2 weeks.
P. W.It is the best way of travelling if you are visiting Auckland. You pick up the car from Aeroparks Auckland and once you have finished you drop it off - same place.
No cabs no hassles , total convenience best and most reliable service and the cheapest cost-
I wish you had a similar facility in Melbourne.
D. T.I rented a truck this week. These guys are really amazing. Their rates are low, staff is friendly and service is great. Keep up the good work!!!
M. G.Needed something reliable to see us through when we first arrived in Auckland and that's exactly what we got at James Blond Rentals.
Haylee and John made the 3 months we had the car a breeze and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
R. B.Easy collection and drop off at Auckland Airport. Fantastic service when booking. Would definately recommend (and have already passed on details to 2 other people) and will be using again on our next visit.
E. R.Excellent experience. Rented on line, easypeasy. We needed a van to get furniture to the auction rooms: roomy, clean, and we were even able to rent tiedowns, too. Office staff helpful and friendly, suggested that maybe 2hours wasn't long enough and they were right! And another 2 hours was only $5 more ... great.
C.We have dealt with James Blond on several occasions. This is the first to write a review. They are easy to dealt with and hire went smoothly and hassle free. We will definitely return to hire from them, and recommend them to our friends.
J. B.The rental van was just what we needed, good condition and easy to drive, and I thought the 24-hour rate was pretty good because it meant we were able to do as many trips as we needed to move our furniture. Nice helpful staff.
s.I totally recommend this company. From the ease of booking online, to the really friendly and helpful young Canadian (?) at the desk, to the well kept and clean truck!! 10/10 Well done guys, will definitely use you again.
D. M.Cars are oldish Jap imports but OK value for $'s. Good airport pickup and drop-off service (off site) in AKL (shuttle can take a while!) Will use them again.
B.EXCELLENT highly recommend to ALL friendly service as for cost it beats the others by far very affordable will come back again.......Thank you so much... ;)
E. P.Thanks to James Blond we were able to replace a damaged van straight away! This time of the year we are extremely busy and with one van down our cash flow would have suffered straight away. James Blond was able to kit out the van in several hours and we installed a hot water cylinder the same day.
R. F.We recently hired the 20 seater van for a football trip to Napier. Great people mover, peppy on hills. Definitely need a trailer as not much storage space inside. As usual, fantastic efficient service from James Blond.
Maintenance suggestion - Air con belt loose, fourth gear synchromesh cone needs replacement before gearbox is damaged.
R. D.Hired a Toyota Corrola Estate from 12th December to end of January 2012. No hassle car hire, extended the hire twice by phone from 10 days to 41 days. Almost new car 3400k/m when collected. Economical and comfortable. Hired an optional Sat Nav but unnecessary as we only used it twice. Drop off at the airport went smoothly and was a great help. Would certainly recommend and use James Blond again.
T.This rental and hire car or van or truck are the number one to use them. Reliable service and well manners. Love them. I've use them about six times. Fantastic.
D. D.The people there were great! they had had a small issue with the van being returned by the person using before us; therefore it was rather grubby. They did very well in consulting me and trying to get a solution.
L.Very honest and no nonsense staff, who do not have crooked schemes or obvious ulterior motives, Trucks are a bit on the old side, varying between 1995 - 2012 models, but Honesty>Newest ANY DAY OF THE WEEK 👍👍
J. T.Would highly recommend. Hiring a furniture trailer, it was in good condition and a good price. They were thorough in showing how to use it including the jockey wheel.
D. G.Rented a van for family purposes. Found the staff and management at James Blond to be courteous and helpful. The vehicle was in good order and performed to expectations. Thanks, fellas.
A.Superb service , picked up from Airport by Aeroparks , car was clean and ready a Toyota Yaris with only 5000km and full tank. Enjoyed a weeks driving in this nice car, simple return back to Aeroparks with plenty of fuel stations near the airport to fill the tank. Totally hassle free service and recommended.
If touring North go to Russell 3 Hours drive, look up Sail Haven as accomodation and Pacific Rendevous near Whale Bay , you will not be dissappointed. Rainbow Falls good and explore the coastine from Russell in all directions.
Enjoy your holidays
J. B.Thank you for the hireage. Staff were friendly , accomodating,efficient and quick. They were responsive and personable over the phone and on line. The website is explanatory and the prices are much fairer for me as the punter than your competitors. Definitely will come back to use your services again. Jan
K.Excellent service. We hired a trailer they attached and ensured all was in working order. Fair and reasonable pricing, thanks team would use again!
M. L.Would be 5 stars if the lady with blond long hair wasn't rude. Yes I was a few minutes late on bringing the trailer back but in saying that she didn't have to be so rude in saying I paid by card for the bond when it was cash.
I.We hired our Toyota Estima for a month from James Blond andwere very Happy with the Car and service,will use them again in the future-Thanks
O. K.Outstanding service, cars in very good condition and very clean and reliable. Absolute fair prices and best value for money. Easy and uncomplicated handling though. Highly recommended.
Thanks!
B. D.The Hiace van we hired was perfect for 4 people, 2 large bike boxes and luggage. Would definitely hire this van again for our next riding holiday!
D.Online booking was fast and effecient, the truck was a bit old and the brakes grabbed fiercely, had to be very conscious of light foot on brake. Passenger window would not open. Staff seemed quite abrubt-ish, didnt feel like they were interested in making it a pleasant experience, rather more in rushing us thru the process, and saying what they had to say, as it seemed they had "more important" things to attend to. The price was the cheapest we found, and the truck did get the job done, There was just not the same "wow" factor, that we have found at other rental lots. A little more friendliness could go a long way towards enticing repeat patronage.
j.Visiting from UK. Happy with our rental car ( used for 6 weeks) Reliable & economical. Good location in west Auckland for us.
L. C.My names Lez Crummer i own a small furniture moving company i've been hiring James blondes lite commercial vehicles for some years. With James Blonde i've found them to be very flexible and obliging especially when we go over hire time,and thats important to me, The staff are all very friendly and thats important for any business Lez
B. M.Picked up Toyota Yaris from airport depot,beautifully clean and tidy,no problems in the 10 days we had it,returned to airport depot,got dropped off at international and then home.Excellent Pricing,Great service just like the 4 other times we have rented from James Blond since we moved to Australia (we did rent from James Blond previously when we lived locally) and the same goes for both our grand daughters and our grandson who also had cars earlier this year (2014).Will be renting again on our next visit early next year across the Tasman.Just had another Yaris and same as before and one of our granddaughters had a Koronda which she said was really good both cost wise and to drive.Our son had a Camry back in September,so all of our family now only rent from you every time we are in Auckland. Cheers and Thanks Bob Meyer.
S.James Blonde have always been super accommodating when we have needed a rental. We now, as an organization, only rent from James BLonde not only because of the service but the price is the best i have found.
Thanks heaps guys we really appreciate you!!!
A.We rented a 2014 model Ssangyong Static for a video shoot, which was great for transporting cast, client, producer and director. Plenty of room for 5 of us plus bags, and more stylish than a regular people-mover. Will rent again!
B. W.I needed a van urgently and James Blond came to the party with an excellent rate and perfect vehicle for the job we needed to do. Many Thanks for the excellent service.
P.Hired a van and furniture trailer, everything was ready and waiting when we arrived, Very efficient transaction, great email contact. Will hire from here next time for sure. Highly recommended.
S.I found the staff to be really accommodating with my late change needs.
And just a great bunch to deal with.
I'll certainly be a repeat customer if and when the need arises, nothing speaks louder than repeat customers.
D.Commercial van & customer service was breeze. Just be prepared to wait 3 working days (min) for Bond refund. A bit of an inconvenience..I didn't know at first. Other hire places I go to, they use Merchant cards and refund directly back to card with a couple of swipes on EFTPOS machine.
N.Car was well priced and represented good value for money. Pick up and return was quick and easy. Definitely would use this company again.
N.AS advertised, booked online for early AM airport pickup. Spotless car, no fuss pickup and drop-off, why can't all rental companies be this easy! Good work guys.
S.another good rental...I like the ease of doing business with James Blond. Their vehicles are always well presented, the airport pickup and drop-off works well, and their pricing is sharp !
t. h.Just traveled through lightning, windy and wet roads, debris on road, a tree fully covering the road, 9 hrs on the road with half hour break, unpacked furniture and nek day returned to Auckland. Over a thousand kilometers, could not have afforded any other rental 4 ton truck for $900, and then on the return with full tank, received $200 back as bond. Oh and did I say that as this was Easter weekend, I got a friendly smile from Hayley with a complimentary chocolate Easter egg.
Hassel free and user friendly. Slow but sure truck if you treat it with respect and Tender loving care. Thank God for good people. (Kopu Hawaikirangi)
j.2nd time we've used James Blond for a month or more car rental since 2015. Great car for the price and great service from the staff!
B. S.Fantastic communication, effortless collection and drop-off, fantastic rates and the ssanyong korando was an unexpected delight... What a fantastic car. Thanks James Blonde, will definitely use you guys again on my next Kiwi trip :)
F. C. P.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
It was amazing to travel with one of your cars during this month around New Zealand. No problem at all. Almost 15km/liter. Furthermore, thanks for all the support.
See ya guys.

B. O.I've used these guys for rentals intermittently over the last 6 years or so - pretty much anytime I've broken down, crashed or had visitors. Some of those things have happened too often. The others were accidents ;-)
