From Airport

Taxis

We have a great taxi operation out of Wellington Airport with a modern fleet (no taxi older than 2000). To operate from the airport every taxi driver every taxi driver must have an ‘area knowledge certificate' so there should be no destination in the Greater Wellington Region that they cannot find.

Taxi ranks can be found directly outside the baggage claim area on level 0 of the main terminal. There are two taxi ranks, one being a dedicated lane for Wellington Combined Taxi's and the other for all other taxi operators. Taxi operators require a special license to operate from Wellington Airport .

Taxi Price Guide. For exact fare ask taxi operator.

• You can select any shuttle of your choice from the rank
• No driver can refuse to carry you under normal circumstances
• If you have any problems please call Wellington Airport Operations on 385 5124
• Chartered Fares may vary between companies

Bus

The Airport Flyer is an express bus service that makes travel from the Airport, Wellington and the Hutt Valley much easier and faster.

The Airport Flyer takes you from Wellington Airport through Wellington City and onto Queensgate in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt , all on one bus stopping only at the main stops.

The Flyer departs from the southern end of the airport, level 0 (exit from baggage claim doors on level 0 and turn right). The service runs every 30 minutes from 6.20am to 8.20pm Monday – Friday; and every hour or half an hour from 6.50 am to 8.50pm during the weekends and on public holidays. The cost is between $3.50 and $10 for an adult fare, depending on how far you are going!

The timetable for the Airport Flyer is available on the Metlink website. Select the timetable for bus route "91 – Airport Flyer" to access details.

 Door-to-door shuttles

There are multiple shuttle companies operating on airport premises, for information on any of these please look them up in the Yellow Pages.

Please see below an approximate list of fares, being intended as a guide only. Please ask the company you are travelling with for an exact fare. They are all based on a one-way fare from the airport.

Please note that you need to state explicitly that you are travelling together if you wish for members of your group to be charged at the 'additional passenger' rate.

• You can select any shuttle of your choice from the rank
• No driver can refuse to carry you under normal circumstances
• If you have any problems please call Wellington Airport Operations on 385 5124
