Airport to hotel at a fixed price per car
Kiwitaxi books airport transfers. You pay per vehicle rather than per person, and a driver meets you in arrivals with a name board.
When it is worth it
It wins on late-night arrivals, with heavy luggage, or with three or more people. In those cases it costs about the same as the train or a local taxi but without the variance, the fare is fixed in advance, so there is no meter to argue about and no chance of being overcharged.
Use it when
- You land after midnight or before dawn, when public transport has stopped
- You have heavy luggage, or there are three or more of you
- It is your first time in the city and you have no feel for local taxi fares
Choose something else when
- In cities where the airport train runs close to your hotel, the train is usually cheaper and faster
- Travelling alone and light, a per-vehicle fare works out dearer
What to check
Check how much free waiting time is included if your flight is delayed. Child seats are usually a separate request, and some cities add a surcharge in the small hours.
Check before you book: Airport transfers
- How many minutes of free waiting you get if the flight is late
- What costs extra: child seats, extra stops, waiting past the allowance
- That the meeting point and a way to reach the driver are in the confirmation email

Kiwitaxi: common questions
What happens if my flight is late?
Enter your flight number and the driver tracks the arrival. Free waiting time differs by airport and tends to run around an hour, so at an airport with slow immigration it is worth checking that allowance before you book.
Is there anything left to pay on the day?
The fare is fixed at booking and covers tolls and airport parking. Child seats, extra stops and waiting beyond the allowance are separate, so add what you need at the booking stage.
