Wellington Airport will be making improvements to the operational layout of the terminal forecourt, enhancing the customer service of various public transport options. In the new layout, there will be a clear line of sight to all public transport options available, reducing congestion around the terminal doors and improving pedestrian safety.

Taxis
Taxi Price Guide. For exact fare ask taxi operator.We have a great taxi operation out of Wellington Airport with a modern fleet (no taxi older than 7 years). To operate from the airport every taxi driver must have an 'area knowledge certificate' so there should be no destination in the Greater Wellington Region they cannot find.
Taxi ranks can be found directly outside the baggage claim area on level 0 of the main terminal. There are two taxi ranks, one being a dedicated lane for Wellington Combined Taxis and the other for all other taxi operators. Taxi operators require a special license to operate from Wellington Airport.
