Fixed-price Christchurch trips

We are based in North Canterbury and Christchurch is our most-travelled destination, so a ride into the city is bread and butter for us. Fares are $2 per kilometre plus a $4 base with GST included, quoted in full before you book. No meter, and no surge pricing when the city is busy.

Because the distance depends on where you are coming from and going to, the example price is a central Rangiora to central Christchurch trip. Give us your real addresses for the exact figure.

Common questions

How much is a taxi to Christchurch?

It depends where you are travelling from and to. As an example, central Rangiora to central Christchurch is around $72.36, GST included, for the whole car. You always see the exact fare before you book.

Do you pick up across North Canterbury?

Yes — Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Woodend, Pegasus, Oxford, Amberley and the rest of the Waimakariri District, through to any Christchurch address.

Is it cheaper than a metered taxi or rideshare?

Our fixed per-kilometre rate is below typical Christchurch metered rates and never surges. The comparison above shows an indicative saving on a typical trip.

Can you take me home from the city late at night?

Yes. Book the return leg in advance and the car is arranged for the trip home, so you are not stuck looking for a ride at the end of the night. Booking both legs together saves 10%.
