Here we go!

December has arrived and with it the busiest month of the year in the car rental industry with absolute madness about to descend as Auckland runs out of rental cars as it does every year with the telephone going ballistic with people calling looking for a vehicle to get them where they need to go. It does not seem to matter how many cars are registered and available at the start of each December by the middle of the month there are just not enough of them to go around and even the companies with thousands of cars runs out.

Here at James Blond Ltd whilst we cannot claim to have thousands of rental cars we can claim to have hundreds and this year like all others past we are expecting that we will run out of rental cars and one of the reasons for this other than the general mad rush for cars is that our prices and our vehicles set us apart from our competitors and make us excellent value for money so if you need to get yourself a hire car this Christmas then check out the selection and prices at James Blond Ltd where we guarantee you will get value for money .

 

The lost password

Don’t you hate it in life when every website and application that you use requires a password and they all have rules about how many letters and numbers you must use to make the password valid so even if you have one that you regularly use then the chances are it will not work for every site visit and if it’s a site that you visit only on a occasional basis then it becomes even more frustrating when you keep getting it wrong.

One of the great things about rental cars is that unlike most things in today’s modern age you do not need a password to drive them you only need a key and with the advent of proximity sensors even that is becoming redundant, here at James Blond Ltd our range of super economy cars that are exclusively Nissan March vehicles all have these sensors making life easy you just press the door remote jump in the rental car turn the button where the key would normaly go and away you go.

James Blond Ltd try to keep all things in life simple when it comes to renting cars and yes our website does have a password function that requires you to enter and set a password but you can choose what you want to enter and it can be just a few letters long if you so desire making the repeat log in for your second or third rental car easy.

 

Get an upgrade

Sometimes in life its more about the quality of things than it is about the money that they cost and sometimes saving a few dollars now caused discomfort or disappointment later when you realise that for just a few dollars more you could have had something that will have lasted longer or performed better than the one you purchased. And so it can be with rental cars over the years that we have been doing this I have found that sometimes what looks to be an economy at the time in fact ends up not really saving much, With say a family of 5 renting an economy rental car and then heading away on a trip to Wellington and although they save $5 per day over the midsized rental car they end up cramped inside the car and with an engine that is going to strain on the hill with the load using more petrol so a real false economy.

Here at James Blond Ltd we try to listed to our customers needs when it comes to rental cars and provide them with what we feel is most appropriate for their needs and within the budget that the client is speaking about.

So if you are unsure about what sort of rental car would best suit your needs talk to the team at James Blond Ltd and they will do their best to find the best solution to fit your situation.

 

 

The Boys In Blue

One of the slight disadvantages of owning a car rental company is that occasionally we rent to people with lets say a less than honest background and that sometimes our cars are used for less than honest reasons and so it is at the moment with one of our rental cars. This particular vehicle has been used in some dodgy dealings and so yesterday we had a visit from the boys in the blue uniform to try and clarify a few of the details about who was renting it and when it was expected back and like usual we are more than happy to help the police with their enquires.

I guess for the people hiring the rental car having something that cannot be recognised as there usual mode of transport makes it harder for them to be identified but in the world that we are today there are camera’s everywhere including our offices and we are more than happy to pass the photo of these people to the police for them to use in their investigations.

So whilst i don’t like having my vehicles used for the wrong reasons here at James Blond Ltd we will support the police in whatever enquiry they may have.
