I would never recommend...

Elizabeth_F, Oct 2025
I would never recommend this service. The drivers at the airport were rude and dismissive. The airport staff did not recognise the service and consequently were unable to offer help. I used the app to try to contact the driver, no reply. The service finally contacted me 24 hours after what was supposed to be my airport pick up. After 4 drivers one finally took the time to assist and then located my ticket

Hard to figure out where...

Rebecca_G, Feb 2025
Hard to figure out where pick up is. Had to exchange messages a few times, but it worked out. Better directions/signage would help.

Great trip but the driver...

Daryl_M, Dec 2024
Great trip but the driver had the wrong name next to my booking which caused some confusion initially

Great Service

Trudi_A, Jul 2024
Easy and stress free, great service thank you!!! Highly recommend, not much else to say really other than I was glad I booked as it made things easier especially travelling with kids

Ivone_S, May 2024
Easy to find at airport, reliable, friendly staff who dropped us off in front of hotel. Overall great service 👌

I definitely recommend this service to other travelers. I will use this service again the next time we visit Wellington

Anh_N, Mar 2024
The driver made us feel welcome. He was courteous and helpful! He even informed us of what was happening and how soon the shuttle would leave.

Booked a and paid for a private transfer but got the shuttle with other passengers.

Marie_W, Jan 2024
Our transfer was fine but we had paid extra for a private transfer and we were put on the shuttle with everyone else. I have requested a refund for the difference in cost but have not received any response.

Very Easy to Use

Deborah_N, Nov 2023
Easy to locate as I exited the terminal. Mark, the driver, was very friendly and helpful. Great experience.

Alicia_J, Sep 2023
Visitor did not provide details about how or where to find their transport van at the airport. I had to beg a ride from a local Wellington bus driver who was very helpful.

Service from Wellington Airport

Donna_C, Sep 2023
There were 2 ph no's to call. Lucky one was an 0800 number as I had no credit on my phone. But it took a while for the phone to be answered. A bit worried as I thought I would be stuck there. 2 planes arrived at the same time so it took a while to get out of the airport. But in the end everything turned out ok. I would definitely organise with Viator again.

A good way to get from the airport to the city

Caroline_A, Aug 2023
A well organized system. The pick-up spot was easy to find after I had collected my baggage, and I only waited a few minutes to board a transport coach to my hotel. The driver was courteous and helpful and the trip went very smoothly.

Transportation company or viator dropped the ball.

Richard_M, May 2023
No confirmation from company. Did not receive contact info. Flight arrived (10 min early) and no one was present. Took a taxi instead. Received call from operator an hour after arrival (and alrwady at hotel) asking if I needed pickup. They said because I booked thru a third party (viator) is why I didn't have contact info. Really? Not sure if this the transport company ilpr viator problem. Regardless, very disappointing.

Not what we expected

Nigel_C, Apr 2023
Not sure what went wrong but there were no shuttle drivers available when we got to the stop outside the airport Terminal. It was only when we asked someone that we were eventually transferred to a taxi with no explanation what the problem was. The fare we paid on line was comparable to the Taxi fare and not the fare advertised on the side of the Super shuttle bus which was a lot cheaper.

Shuttle was on time &...

LA_L, May 2022
Shuttle was on time & reliable. Driver lacked any sort of customer service, we arrived at the hotel where the driver just pointed at us, after getting out & going to the trailer,. no discussions where we were. Some of the other customers sniggered & commented at his arrogance

Driver was very pleasant...

Happiness_B, Feb 2022
Driver was very pleasant & my trip was easy & comfortable. I would recommend & use again. Thank you very much

I arrived at Wellington airport at midnight on a flight from Sydney, the shuttle bus was waiting outside the arrivals area for the quick trip to my hotel. I will use this service again next time I travel to Wellington.

Fantastic they knew flight delayed and were waiting. Slow trip into Wellington but that was due to traffic.
