NZ Intercity Cabs

Intercity transfers

Private city-to-city travel across New Zealand

Travel directly between cities, towns, airports, hotels and attractions with a professional private driver. Pre-book your journey, receive a fixed-price quote, and travel door-to-door.

Pre-booked, subject to availability. Fixed price confirmed before you pay.

Why book a private driver instead of renting a car?

A private intercity transfer is a simple alternative to hiring a rental car, calling a long-distance taxi, chaining together buses and shuttles, or juggling multiple connections with luggage.

  • No rental desk queues, paperwork or ID checks

  • No unfamiliar driving conditions — motorways, winding rural roads, mountain passes or fog

  • No driving on the left-hand side of the road if that is new to you

  • No fuel, parking, tolls, insurance excess, cleaning fees or return-location stress

  • No need to arrange a return vehicle for a one-way journey

  • Relax, work, sleep or enjoy the scenery while a local driver handles the road

  • Door-to-door pickup and drop-off from your exact address

  • Fixed quote confirmed before you book — no meter, no surge pricing

  • A practical choice for families, groups, older travellers, business visitors and long-distance journeys

Worth noting: Depending on your group size, itinerary, luggage and travel plans, a private driver can be a simpler and better-value alternative to renting a car or arranging multiple transport connections. We do not claim to always be the cheapest option — every trip is different, so we quote each one up front so you can decide.

Journeys we cover
