Private transfers
Private transfers
When you need to get somewhere in comfort, with your bags and your party together, we run private transfers in our luxury vehicles, with a driver-guide who knows the way and the stops worth making.
Where we can take you
Can you meet our flight at Christchurch Airport?
Yes. Christchurch Airport is about 20 minutes from the city centre by road. We meet your flight as a private transfer and take you to your accommodation in the city or a lodge further out, so send us your flight details when you enquire. More on airport transfers.
Can you take us to a high country lodge?
Yes. We run private transfers to and from high country lodges. Tell us where you are staying and when, and we will quote for your party.
Do you run transfers to the ski fields?
Yes. See our Christchurch luxury ski transport.
Can we travel one way, with stops along the way?
Yes. A one-way scenic drive takes you between two places with time at the stops that matter, for example from Christchurch to Queenstown in one day by Lake Tekapo or by Aoraki Mount Cook. See our one-day journeys and travelling one way.
Prices, luggage and booking
How is a transfer priced?
A transfer is priced for your party and the journey, not per seat, and we quote it in writing before you book. How our prices work and paying by card are on our questions and answers page.
How much luggage can we bring?
Tell us how many large cases and smaller bags your party is bringing when you enquire, so we can plan the right vehicle. More on luggage.
What if we need to cancel?
Transfers follow our day tour terms, set out in our cancellation policy.
Still have a question?
Our questions and answers page answers the questions guests ask most. Or tell us who is travelling and when, and we will come back to you with ideas.
Or call us on +64 3 384 6148, or email info@trails.co.nz.
