Premium Economy

Lets face it nothing makes you feel better than being one of the first people to get behind the wheel of a brand new car and driving off down the road and whilst we cannot promise this experience to everyone that rents a Toyota Yaris from James Blond Ltd we can say with some certainty that a lot of our customers will get close to experiencing this with our stock updated every 3 to 6 months. Our supply agreement with Toyota ensures that every customer who rents a car in the premium economy range is guaranteed to be driving a car less than 6 months old.

We have now taken delivery of the first of our 2012 model Toyota Yaris these are a whole new model over and above the 2011 models and offer a much smoother driving experience on the open road yet still returning a fantastic fuel economy.

These cars are very flexible with the way they are configured either seating 4 adults in comfort or 5 at a squash with legroom or if there are just 2 of you and lots of luggage you can slide the rear seats forward to the back of the front seats increasing the boot space dramatically. The fuel economy of these vehicles are the best in the James Blond Fleet with 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres based on factory figures.

If you are arriving into Auckland airport either domestic or international we can have your premium economy car waiting at the airport no matter what the time of day or night you arrive 365 days of the year including Christmas day.  Or if you would rather settle into your hotel or motel and then collect the car at your leisure we can deliver 7 days free of charge during business hours. And of course you can collect from our office anytime between 8am and 5pm 364 days of the year (closed Christmas day).

You can travel almost anywhere in New Zealand in your premium economy car and our rates include unlimited mileage, GST and standard insurance, we also offer the chance to reduce your insurance excess to zero for a small additional cost.

If you are planning a visit to the South Island don’t be put off renting one of these vehicles as they will cruise easily at 100kph and have enough acceleration available to overtake the largest truck and remember that here at James Blond Ltd we can offer you wholesale rates on your ferry crossing when you make your booking through us.

So go ahead and spoil yourself and rent a new or almost new car today!
