We rented a car for 4 weeks and extended it to six weeks while we were getting ready to depart Opua for Fiji. The price was reasonable, the car worked great. It was a hybrid so it barely used any fuel. Would rent from them again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic customer service, delivered the car the night before we booked so we could be on the road early and picked up when we got back to Kerikeri. Only rental car company that ever that gave us a dry run as to the cars features and functions.

Thank G for Blue Star! I was born in the Bay of Islands and I usually drive home for long weekends, birthdays, weddings, etc, but during the past 15 months I’ve been flying due to the closure of the SH1 Brynderwyn's. What has made my trips possible, besides using my air points, has been Blue Star Car Rentals. I earn Air NZ Air Points if I use the bigger companies but Blue Star offers excellent A+ service, compact Hybrid cars I like to drive, and the most competitive and affordable prices I’ve seen nationally for rental cars. I just keep going back to them. They are there with a big smile to greet you upon your arrival and you just drop the key into the box when you depart. They are simply the best. Highly recommend!

Excellent service. Booked online on the company website without difficulty. Met at the airport by a rep who delivered the car and answered all of my questions regarding the car and road trip options in the area. Hybrid car was clean and in good order. Easy process from start to finish.
