Prices shown are for a drop-off in central Amberley and cover the whole vehicle, not each passenger. Your exact fare is calculated from your real drop-off address when you book, so a rural address a few kilometres out will differ slightly. Discounts are applied at checkout.
Christchurch Airport charges every vehicle a $16.00 access fee per visit to drive into the terminal area. Most operators bury that in the fare. We let you decide, and we pass it on exactly as charged with nothing added.
We drive into the terminal pick-up area and meet you at the doors, so you walk straight out to the car with your bags. Worth it after a long flight, with kids, or on a wet Canterbury night. The $16.00 airport charge is added after GST as a straight pass-through.
We meet you just outside the paid area on Orchard Road, a short walk or free shuttle hop from the terminal. Exactly the same ride, $16.00 cheaper. A good option if you are travelling light.
You pick your meeting point on the booking form, and you can choose differently for each leg of a return trip. On a Wait & Return booking the driver never leaves the airport, so the fee is only charged once.
We run 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week. Within those hours we can often take an airport pick-up at 45 minutes' notice.
Flights landing between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM are covered too — we just need 12 hours' notice so the run can be scheduled. Book before you fly and the car is there when you walk out.
Your flight number is recorded against the booking, so the job is tied to an actual arrival rather than a clock time. If the flight shifts, call or text 027 484 0588.
We are a single-vehicle local operator, so booking ahead is the only way to guarantee the car. It also means the person meeting you is the same person every trip.

A one-way trip from Christchurch Airport to Amberley is about $122.66 picked up at the terminal, or $106.66 if you meet us at the Orchard Road bus stop instead. Both prices include GST and cover the whole vehicle, not each passenger. Your exact fare depends on your drop-off address, and you see the final figure before you pay.
It is about 44.4 kilometres and normally takes around 39 minutes, south on State Highway 1 through Waikuku and Woodend. After a long flight that is a straightforward run with no changes and no waiting for a shuttle to fill up.
Wherever suits you. We can collect you from the terminal pick-up area, which carries Christchurch Airport's $16.00 access fee per visit passed on at cost, or from the Orchard Road bus stop just outside the paid area for no extra charge. You choose when you book.
Give us your flight number when you book and it is recorded against the job, so we know which arrival you are on rather than just a clock time. If your plans change on the day, call or text 027 484 0588 and we will sort it out.
Yes. Our standard hours are 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, seven days a week, and we cover arrivals outside those hours with at least 12 hours' notice. Late arrivals into Christchurch are a regular run for us, and it beats waiting on a rank at midnight.
Book ahead if you can — we are a single-vehicle local operator, so booking is the only way to guarantee the car is waiting. During our normal hours we can often take an airport job at 45 minutes' notice, but a peak-time or after-hours arrival really needs to be booked in advance.
For the whole car. The quoted fare covers up to 3 adults, or 2 adults and 2 children, or 1 adult and 3 children. If you are arriving with a lot of luggage or need a child seat, mention it when you book so we can plan for it.
