Simple price, no surprises

The price you see online is fixed at checkout. It already covers pickup, the trip to your exact address, taxes and tolls. If you add a child seat, a short stop, or more space for luggage, the cost updates before payment.

Why choose a Kiwitaxi car

• Meet and greet in the terminal with a nameplate. The driver waits where you can see them easily and walks you to the car.
• 1 hour 30 minutes of free waiting time for arrivals. If your flight is late, there is no extra charge within this window.
• Fixed fare shown upfront, no taximeter or hidden fees at the end of the ride.
• Direct ride to your hotel or apartment, with no changes and no need to handle bags on public transport.
• 24/7 support team ready to help by chat or phone, before the trip and during the ride.

You can add child seats and space for skis or bikes. The final price shows these options before you pay.

Cars range from budget sedans to roomy vans. Pick what fits your group and luggage. Your car with a driver waits and takes you directly to the hotel. Large suitcases, skis, or a folding bike are fine when you choose the right class.

Meeting your driver

Wait in the arrivals hall near the exit.

Your driver stands with a nameplate with your name, inside the terminal, near the main meeting point or cafe.

You will have the driver's contact and can message them on arrival. If baggage is delayed, tell the driver that you are delayed.
