From the airport and the ferry terminal to the stadium, the festivals and the Wairarapa wineries.
Wellington Airport is in Rongotai, about 8 km by road from the city centre, or around 15–20 minutes' drive. It is New Zealand's third busiest airport, with domestic and international flights through a single terminal. We meet your group on arrival and take you to your hotel, your venue or the Cook Strait ferry terminal, and back again for the flight home. Give us your flight details when you ask for a quote.
Whether it's a rugby team heading to an away game or a class trip to Te Papa, Zealandia or Wellington Zoo, we provide a vehicle sized for your group. Tell us how many students and adults are travelling, what luggage or sports gear you carry, and your times. Our drivers carry out a safety check at the start of every shift, including seatbelts.
We carry wedding guests, corporate functions, birthday groups, hen and stag parties, conference delegates and fans heading to Hurricanes and Wellington Phoenix games. We also run day trips to the Martinborough wineries in the Wairarapa, Weta Workshop in Miramar and the Kāpiti Coast. For large events needing several vehicles, we plan and coordinate the whole transport operation.
Minibuses and coaches from 8 to 57 seats, with a driver always included. For larger groups, we supply multiple vehicles.
All vehicles hold a current Certificate of Fitness and are regularly serviced and cleaned.
