Auckland → Devonport: key facts

Devonport from Auckland Airport (AKL) by private transfer: €95 per car (1–3 people) or €140 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 34 km via SH 1 and SH 20A, roughly 40 min when traffic is light and 40–55 min when it is not.

Meeting point: 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. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Devonport sits at the tip of a small peninsula on the North Shore, directly across the Waitematā Harbour from the city centre but about 34 km from the airport by road. The drive follows the Southwestern Motorway and the Southern Motorway towards the city, crosses the Auckland Harbour Bridge on State Highway 1 and leaves the Northern Motorway for Lake Road, which runs the length of the peninsula through Takapuna and Belmont. Lake Road is a single route in and out and is often slow at peak times.

Devonport is one of the older suburbs of Auckland, with Victorian and Edwardian villas, a ferry terminal on Queens Parade and a short main street, Victoria Road, lined with cafés, bookshops and galleries. Two volcanic cones frame the village: Takarunga (Mount Victoria), whose summit gives a view over the harbour to the city, and Maungauika (North Head) with its old military tunnels. Cheltenham Beach and Narrow Neck Beach are on the eastern side facing Rangitoto Island. The Navy Museum stands on the waterfront west of the village.

Public transport instead: Auckland Transport (AirportLink bus, then a train) AirportLink, then East West Line or South City Line train from Auckland Airport: bus stop A at the international terminal (transport hub) or bus stop B at the domestic terminal to Puhinui Station, then by train to the city centre stations Waitematā (Britomart), Te Waihorotiu or Karanga-a-Hape, AirportLink every 10 min, 7 days a week, 4:30am to 12:40am, paid with an AT HOP card or a contactless card, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Devonport: the AirportLink bus and a train reach the city centre, and from the Downtown Ferry Terminal a ferry crosses the harbour to Devonport.

FAQ

Questions about this route

How long is the drive from Auckland Airport (AKL) to Devonport?

About 34 km via SH 1 and SH 20A: 40 min with clear roads, 40–55 min in heavy traffic. The price stays €95 per car either way.

Where exactly does the driver wait at AKL?

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.

Is there a ferry from the city centre to Devonport?

Yes. Ferries cross the Waitematā Harbour from the Downtown Ferry Terminal on Quay Street to the Devonport Ferry Terminal on Queens Parade, so the trip from the airport by public transport involves a bus, a train and the ferry.

Does the road to Devonport go over the Harbour Bridge?

Yes. The drive from the airport crosses the Auckland Harbour Bridge on State Highway 1 and then follows Lake Road through Takapuna to the end of the peninsula.

No — that is the price for the whole car for up to 3 people. For 4–8 people the van costs €140, also per vehicle.

Can the price go up?

No. The price shown when you book is the final price — no surcharges for traffic, airport fees or luggage.
