Very easy to make the booking on line and when we arrived to pick up the car all of the paper work was ready for signing. They did not even check my licence as details had been given on line.The car was the first time it had been out on hire since its arrival from Japan and was in excellent condition.No problems with it at all during the 10 day hire and it was returned on time, leaving the keys in the box at the desk.Very professional company and would certainly not hesitate to use them again.

these guys were just fabulous, no problem with pick up, really great little car, ran on the smell of an oily rag with lots of running around. Awesome to deal with and value for money unequalled. Thanks so much Pegasus.

I am really happy to recommend New Plymouth branch of Pegasus rental Cars. I use them whenever I am in New Plymouth to visit and they are always friendly and helpful. I have had no problem with any of the cars, as I am on a limited budget I use the lower cost cars but they are of good standard. The price means it is affordable for me to rent for my whole stay.I would recommend this service highly. Ruth

Everything went well. We got off the plane and went straight to the Pegasus Desk where the paperwork was done. It was very efficient. We had a medium sized 4 door car which was perfect for us. Today we arrived at the airport, dropped the car key in the return slot. There was no fuss or bother. We would definitely use Pegasus again.
