Rental Fleet Specials

As summer has finished the days are getting shorter and the rental car yard is filling with stock so it’s time for us to special some prices and get these cars out and about so we have rental cars available from as little as $20 per day and if you need one super long term then talk to us and maybe we can work out an even better price.

Quality of service and quality of vehicles are very important here to the team at James Blond Ltd and we strive hard to ensure that we offer some of the lowest mileage latest models that have been serviced and maintained to the highest standards to ensure that your rental car experience is one without fault or incident.

Over the time we have been in business we have seen a steady growth in the number of people who are renting from us on a long term basis and if you would like to find out why then make contact by calling us on 0800 525 663 or emailingus and discussing your needs.

 

12 Seat minivan plus luggage

Like all people wanting to rent a minivan you probably also want to know where will my luggage go and will all my friends and family be sitting on top of it. Here at James Blond Ltd we have purchased a range of 12 seat minivans all of which have a substantial cargo area in the rear that is separated from the passenger compartment by a cage allowing your suitcases to be stacked to the roof.

Of course some people will have a requirement for even more luggage space than that provided by the minibus and in this instance we can offer a luggage trailer that can be easily towed behind the vehicle, this also gives you the advantage of being able to leave the trailer where you are staying when you wish to make trips in the minivan.

Overall the Ford Transit 12 seat minivan offers the most space for your luggage but as these are available only in manual transmission we have also a range of Toyota Hiace Jumbo vans for those requiring an automatic and although these vans are fractionally smaller there is still a large cargo area in the rear.

What ever you decide here at James Blond Ltd we are here to help so if you are unsure call us for some advice and we will do what we can to assist.

 

What to do in a rental car in the middle of winter

A lot of people think that all the fun activities and holiday good times are had in Summer and sure things like visiting the Zoo in the middle of winter when all the animals are sheltering from the rain can be a bit depressing. But here at James Blond Ltd we would suggest to you that if you have some free time and are unsure of what to do that you do something completely different, if you have a smart phone download the application from Auckland City it’s free and located on this site are a number of tourist attractions that you probably have never heard of or never considered and then go and try one or two of them. Some of these are even free or entry by donation only.

Of course the middle of winter also means ski season on whilst we are still a couple of months away from that starting you might want to consider booking your trip in advance so that you have a 4wd ready to get you up the mountain road James Blond Ltd have a number of Honda CRV’s as rental cars and  their 4wd system will get you safe and sound to the mountain in the middle of winter

So there you go a couple of idea’s about what to in the middle of winter in your rental car

 

 

Another full day

Sunday can be one of those days when we are either stting round twiddling our thumbs or flat out with rental cars going out the door and this Sunday is one of those days here at James Blond Ltd. When the day started we already had 17 rental car bookings and since opening we have been inundated with enquiry abd customers wandering in to collect rental cars and minivans.

When you run a business it’s nice to be able to predict things and what sort of day we are going to have so that i can organise to have sufficient staff to cover a busy day over a quiet day so that foreinstance just before a public holiday we always increase our staff to cover the increased demand for rental cars but a day like today when a large number of vehicles go out unexpedly can cause delays in us serving our customers as quickly as we would like so if you did experience a delay then we are sorry for that.

On a business front however it’s great to see us busy here at James Blond Ltd and we have great plans for the futire based on business growth over the last few years.

 

In sickness and in health

A promise some people will know from their wedding vows but also one that applies to small business for you are there when you are happy and well and when you are feeling ;lousy and sick it’s hard to take time out if you don’t have other staff members available to cover those who are unwell. Here at James Blond Ltd we have just been through a bout of flu that has effected all the staff and has at times caused a shortage of a people to run the business effectively. So if you have suffered when picking up your rental car from an undue delay over the last couple of days then I appologoise  and hope that now things are on the improve that that will be the only event of the year.

Here at James Blond Ltd we are mostly a family run business so it tends to be that if one family member is sick it runs through the rest of the family.

We will be launching a number of new rental car specials over the next couple of weeks to encourage things over winter as we have plenty of rental cars and it would be easier to rent them than store them.
