Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
A private transfer from Auckland Airport (AKL) to Auckland CBD (city centre) costs €80 per car for 1–3 passengers and €120 per van for 4–8. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle, the same amount you pay when you book. The road distance is 20 km via SH 20A and 12; the drive takes about 25 min with clear roads, so plan on 25–35 min at busy times.
Where the driver waits: The driver waits inside the arrivals area of the terminal your flight lands at (the international or the domestic terminal), at the meeting point for pre-booked pick-ups after baggage claim and, for international flights, after the customs and biosecurity exit, holding a sign with your name. We track your flight and the first 60 minutes after landing are free; the driver helps with your luggage.
Auckland Airport lies in Māngere on the shore of the Manukau Harbour, about 20 km south-west of the city centre by road. The usual route leaves the airport northwards, joins the Southwestern Motorway (State Highway 20) past Onehunga and then runs through the central isthmus to the motorway junction on the edge of the CBD before dropping down to Queen Street and the waterfront. Weekday morning and late-afternoon peaks slow the motorways, and the drive then takes noticeably longer than the usual 25 minutes or so.
The CBD stretches from the waterfront up the valley of Queen Street to Karangahape Road. Britomart and the Waitematā station, the Viaduct Harbour, Wynyard Quarter and the ferry piers on Quay Street sit along the water; cruise ships berth at Princes Wharf and Queens Wharf right next to them. The Sky Tower and SkyCity stand a few blocks uphill on Victoria Street. Ponsonby, Parnell and Newmarket, with their cafés and shops, lie just outside the centre, and Auckland Domain with the War Memorial Museum is a short drive east of Queen Street.
