1. What does “shared ride” mean?

Since all our passengers are travelling to or from the airport, they can share the same vehicle. As NZ’s most sustainable and carbon friendly passenger service, we'll make multiple stops along your journey that are “on the way” adding only a little extra time to your trip. This approach makes our prices unbeatable and its way better for the environment!

2. Can I hire the Super Shuttle just for me and my family / friends / staff / work colleagues?

Yes – we provide our Exclusive Ride service to many passengers. This service means you can get up to 11 passengers (3 taxis worth!) for about 25% more than a single taxi fare so you can see why it is so popular. Get a quick quote right now!

When you book online (link to Book Online) we will ask you for your flight details. Our Super Shuttle reservations system then calculates your pickup time, allowing for your travel time to the airport so that you arrive at the required report time for your flight.

Yes, we operate 24/7. We service every flight every day, door-to-door!
