About Blue Star

Blue Star Taxis celebrates 80 years in business in 2009

A brief history of Blue Star Taxis:

In September 1929 Blue Star Taxis was incorporated with just 15 owners.

In 1930 the first night shift drivers were employed.

In 1947 Blue Star Taxis became the first taxi company in the South Island to introduce two way radios.

Today we are the largest taxi company in the South Island. We pride ourselves on our reputation for service and reliability, and we make sure that we provide each and every client with an exceptional experience when they travel with us.

Blue Star Taxis are the exclusive taxi company for all major events in Christchurch.

These include Addington & Riccarton Races, Cup Week, The Royal New Zealand Show, The International Rodeo, AMI Stadium and our newest event The Ellerslie International Flower Show. Blue Star Taxis also service the cruise ships at Lyttelton Harbour.

We are Canterbury owned and operated with a passion for providing safe, reliable transport to our fellow Cantabrians and all visitors to this beautiful Garden City.
