Directions for your Taxi or Private Shuttle from Queenstown Airport

Queenstown International Airport (ZQN) is located amid mountainous terrain and is known for its alpine views, while it is also used for sightseeing flights. Located just 8 km away from downtown Queenstown, it is ideal for kicking off the perfect vacation. It is only a 10-minute drive from the city, so the quickest transport option is a taxi or private transfer and, for larger groups, a minivan serving as an airport shuttle to Queenstown. 

To leave the airport and begin your transfer, your driver will head east on Sir Henry Wigley Dr and take the 4th exit at the roundabout to continue on Sir Henry Wigley Dr for 140 m. At the next roundabout, you will take the 3rd exit and continue onto Lucas Pl. After 180 m, you will take the 2nd exit at the roundabout, joining State Hwy 6 and heading to Queenstown/Cromwell/Wanaka. After 700 m, you will take the 1st exit at the roundabout and continue on State Hwy 6A for about 6.4 km, leading you to Queenstown.

How much is a Queenstown Airport Taxi?


The average Queenstown Airport taxi costs €17.60 (NZD 30) and takes about 10 minutes to reach the city centre, depending on traffic. The cost of the transfer can vary depending on the time of day, and the size of the vehicle, as a Queenstown Airport shuttle for a group of 8, for example, will cost more than a regular Sedan vehicle. It is also likely that there will be an airport fee, as well as a surcharge for using a card or voucher. We recommend booking your ride in advance to secure a guaranteed fixed rate and no hidden fees, all whilst travelling with a reliable and professional driver.
