Discount Taxis runs on fixed pricing across Auckland, not a meter that climbs while you sit in traffic. You see the fare before you book, and you pay that fare. This page explains how our fixed pricing works and lists the real fares for the busiest route in Auckland, Auckland CBD to Auckland Airport (AKL).
Every fare is quoted before you book, based on your pickup and drop-off address, and that quoted price is what you pay. It does not change if your flight lands late and traffic builds up, during peak commuter hours, or on a rainy Friday night when other companies switch on surge pricing. There is no meter running and no surprise total waiting at the end of the trip. You book with the fare already agreed, and the driver takes you door to door for exactly that amount.
These are flat, fixed, per-vehicle fares. The price is for the whole car or van, not per passenger, and it does not change with traffic or time of day.
North Shore to Auckland Airport (AKL): from $80.
For every other Auckland address, you get an exact fixed quote online before you book, so you always know the total cost in advance no matter where in Auckland you are travelling to or from.
Airport trips are exactly where a meter costs you the most. Motorway congestion, roadworks, a detour, or a queue at the drop-off zone can all stretch a metered fare past what you expected to pay. With a fixed price, none of that matters. Traffic on the way to Auckland Airport (AKL) does not add a cent, and a late-night pickup does not trigger a surge multiplier. You know the exact cost when you book, which makes budgeting for flights, transfers, and group travel far simpler than guessing what a meter might read.
