Coach charter, airport shuttles, taxis and chauffeur operators for moving conference delegates around Wellington, listed on MICE.
Wellington's compact CBD puts most conference hotels, Tākina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre, and the waterfront within a short run of each other — but delegates still need moving to and from the airport and out to offsite events. MICE lists 13 delegate-transport operators serving Wellington, across coach and bus charter, airport shuttles, taxis, and private-car and chauffeur services. Browse them all in the transport directory.
For group transfers, offsites and gala shuttles, Wellington coach operators listed on MICE include Tranzit Coachlines Wellington, Johnston's Coachlines, Wellington Bus and Tours, Wellington Bus and Coach Hire and Kiwi Coaches. Coaches are the most efficient way to move a full delegation on a set timetable.
Wellington Airport is close to the city, which makes shuttles a practical choice for arrivals and departures spread across a day. Listed shuttle operators include Airport Shuttles Wellington, Capital Shuttles and Tours and Super Shuttle Wellington.
For individual movements and small groups, MICE lists Corporate Cabs Wellington and Wellington Combined Taxis. Corporate account taxis simplify billing across a multi-day event.
For speakers, sponsors and VIPs, Wellington chauffeur and private-car listings include Executive Taxis, Executive Chauffeur Wellington and In Style Executive.
Because the city is walkable, many Wellington conferences need less inter-venue shuttling than larger cities — the transport budget often concentrates on airport transfers, offsite excursions (Zealandia, the Wairarapa, harbour cruises) and VIP cars. Confirm your arrival profile and any offsite locations before locking in coach numbers.
