I believe in mass transit while traveling wherever possible, shuttles are the next best thing. Super Shuttle New Zealand is a model for how companies around the world should be; this review serves for the entire company, not just using it in Auckland.
On our trip we had a need for shuttle service on four occasions, each one we used this company and we thoroughly recommend it. We used it in Wellington, Auckland twice, and Queenstown. It goes like this: you can book online, on their stellar app, or over the phone. I recommend the app: it's intuitive, stable, and records all your trips in one place.
Communication is spot on; you'll get texts or notifications confirming your pickup; they have GPS to track your driver, information about them, and information about other stops and riders so there's no guessing on time or schedules. Prices were fantastic, less than $20 for both of us.
The shuttles themselves are modern and clean vans with comfortable seating. There's no overbooking, so plenty of space. The big thing is the trailers for luggage; so many other companies limit you due to room in a tiny trunk space, here they put it all in the trailer. The vans have free wifi as well, which can be useful in a foreign country if you need to access airport information or details about your stay.
Every pick up and drop off we had was a breeze; all on time, all friendly and local. The drivers seemed to enjoy talking and all knew shortcuts to save on time and traffic. We would definitely use this company again, there's nothing cheaper, safer, and more convenient. read more
