Transportation options in Wellington

Wellington Combined Shuttles

If you walk outside the Wellington airport terminal at any time of day, you are likely to see the white vans and trailers of Wellington Combined Shuttles loading passengers for a $22.30 trip to the CBD ($20 cash). In this circumstance, there is no need to carry a phone or reserve a ride. Regardless, reservations can be made on the website, or with a telephone call to +64-(0)4-387 8787 any hour, "to take bookings, give you a quote or answer any questions", or email wctplanner@taxis.co.nz

The driver will stop at any hotel in CBD, and most other locations as well. This is the best transport option for passengers with oversized baggage or sporting equipment. Many of the drivers also feature a generous sense of humor, so the shuttle provides a great opportunity to trade dad jokes. Shuttles operate 24/7, and so does the phone line to reserve rides.
