How to move conference and incentive delegates around New Zealand — coaches, shuttles, chauffeured cars and taxis — and where to find verified operators by city.
Delegate transport is one of the most visible parts of any conference or incentive: the airport transfer, the venue shuttle, the VIP pickup. Getting it right means matching the vehicle type to the group. This guide covers the options and where to find operators.
Coaches move large delegate groups between airport, hotel and venue in one go — the workhorse of big conferences. Shuttles suit rolling airport and hotel transfers. Chauffeured cars cover speakers, sponsors and VIPs. Taxis handle ad-hoc and late-night movements. Each is a distinct category on MICE, so you can filter to exactly what you need.
Every MICE city page and the transport directory list verified operators grouped by type — coaches, shuttles, cars & vans, and taxis — so a Christchurch organiser sees Christchurch operators, an Auckland organiser sees Auckland's, and so on.
Work backwards from the programme: flight arrival windows, venue capacity for coach drop-off, and the social programme's timing. For large international delegations, book coach capacity early and confirm the venue's loading access. Pair transport with the right venue — MICE cross-links nearby options on every venue page.
Open the transport directory, choose your city, and filter by vehicle type — or ask the MICE Concierge for operators that serve your group size.
It depends on group size and programme: coaches for large delegate transfers, shuttles for rolling airport and hotel runs, chauffeured cars for speakers and VIPs, and taxis for ad-hoc movements. MICE lists verified operators in each category by city.
