FAQs

Planning transport often comes with a few practical questions. This page covers key details around bookings, pricing, payments, timing, delays, and available discounts.

If you cannot find what you need, our team is available to talk through your plans and provide clear, practical advice.

How do I make a reservation?

Do you offer round-trip discounts?

Yes, we reward our customers with savings on round-trip shuttle bookings.

When you book your return journey at the same time as your initial trip, you'll enjoy a discount on the total fare. This offer makes our already competitive rates even more attractive for travellers needing transportation to and from their destination.

How do I track my vehicles arrival?

We wil provide you with an estimated collection time or departure time the day prior to your travel. If there is any change to this, our operations team and driving team will advise. 

Are gratuities included in the fare?

In New Zealand, there is no expectation for gratuities; our team are permanent employees, and earn a living wage.

If you're particularly satisfied with the service provided by your driver, tipping is appreciated but not required. This is entirely at your discretion.

Can I bring my pet on the shuttle?

When booking your airport transfer, please inform us if you'll be travelling with a service animal.

Service animals are always welcome on our shuttles without restrictions, in compliance with NZ Law. We do not provide transport for non-service animals. We can recommend a quality service provider for this on request. 

What happens if my flight is delayed?

All flight arrival times are monitored, and Luxury Airport Shuttles endeavours to accommodate late arrivals.

How early should I schedule my pickup before my flight?

For a stress-free journey, we recommend scheduling your airport shuttle to arrive at the Airport at least 2 hours before domestic flight departures and 3 hours before international flights. This buffer allows for potential traffic delays and ensures ample time for check-in, security procedures, and navigating the airport terminal.

Are your drivers licensed and insured?

Safety is paramount in our services. All our professional drivers are fully licensed, insured, and undergo rigorous background checks. They receive regular driver training, as well as training in customer service and local traffic regulations. Rest assured, you're in capable hands.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), debit cards, and, by prior arrangement, direct credits. 

For corporate clients, we also offer invoicing options.

What areas do you serve?

We can operate across New Zealand. With teams across the North Island, and Christchurch and Queenstown. 

If, when you put your address into our booking system, you are notified we are unable to service your area, please call us - there may be a solution we can offer over the phone. 

What types of vehicles do you use?

Our diverse fleet includes modern, well-maintained vehicles to suit various group sizes and needs. We operate premium SUVs as well as comfortable Mercedes minivans for smaller groups, spacious shuttle buses for larger parties. All vehicles are regularly serviced to ensure safety and reliability.

Do you provide car seats for infants and young children?

We don't have car seats on offer. However, we can store yours while you are travelling and have them available in the vehicle again when you return. Please advise our team when booking. 

Are your vehicles wheelchair accessible?

Our regular shuttle vehicles are not wheelchair accessible. They have accessibility features, such as steps and grab handles to get in and out.
