Booking your Dunedin taxi from the airport with Welcome Pickups

Although the local Dunedin Airport shuttle drivers work 24 hours a day, during peak travel times there can be long wait times for an available taxi. To avoid these queues and the stressful, bustling waiting areas, we recommend pre-booking your taxi from Dunedin Airport with Welcome Pickups. We offer guaranteed on-time pickups, fully personalised transfers, competitive fixed-rate fares and a 24-hour customer service line, should you need us during your stay in New Zealand.

What’s the cost of an airport shuttle to Dunedin?

There’s a fixed fare of €50 (NZD 90) when it comes to taking a local Dunedin Airport taxi to Dunedin city centre. This fare can be paid to your driver in cash in New Zealand Dollars, or occasionally, your driver may accept card payments, but it’s best to ask. For routes outside of the city centre, drivers tend to use a taximeter to calculate the total cost of the ride, so the fare will depend on the distance travelled and time of day.

For a guaranteed fixed fare you can rely on, booking a private transfer in advance with a provider like Welcome Pickups is advised.
