We had our best time in Northern Island with the tiny Toyota iQ (2300km, 14 days, 2025). Seats very comfortables. Super easy to drive. No big consumption. Thank you BlueStar !!

Can't fault them at all....From having no car availability because of a busy time, we were helped and sorted by getting a car by Blue star. The car was great and so was the service, wouldn't just use them again, I would only use them... Fantastic...

Amazing service. I had a car break down and was at the airport after hours. None of the ‘big’ car companies would assist but Chris said no problem- I’ll be there in half an hour. Highly recommend this car rental company!!

We have used their service several times now. They are the Premier rental service of the Far North. They are kind, professional and courteous. Their communication and compassion saved me a lot of headaches. Thank you so much.

Blue Star car rental company is a very reliable to deliver your vehicle on time and all prepared for your next adventure. With a convenience of delivery to the Bay of Island marina it was a great time saver for me. They are always helpful before, during your rental. Dealing with that company is easy and very pleasant. I will recommend them for your next car rental while in NZ!

We have rented from Blue Star several times during our stay at Bay of Islands Marina. The cars are very well maintained and the company is very customer service oriented. I would highly recommend renting from Blue Star.

Chris came to our rescue, our car broke down and needed to go to the garage- I left a message with Blue star and they rang me back almost immediately. Chris was extremely helpful and flexible in assisting us. I cant recommend these guys enough, if I find myself up North again, I would use Blue Star rentals 🙂
