Super Shuttle is a long-established, nationwide shared-ride airport shuttle operator in New Zealand, serving Wellington alongside 11 key centres around the country. The company traces its start to 1987, when it began the airport shuttle industry in Auckland following deregulation of the small passenger transport sector, and expanded to a nationwide network by 1989. In 1996, Super Shuttle merged with the other major shuttle operator, Johnston's Shuttle Link, to form what it describes as the largest airport transport business in New Zealand at the time; the Johnston's Shuttle Link brand was retired in 2000 in favour of the single Super Shuttle brand. The company states it was one of the first franchise systems in New Zealand, developed in the early 1990s, and it operates today via a mix of owner-drivers and contract drivers.
### Services
Super Shuttle's core Wellington service is a shared-ride, door-to-door shuttle between the airport and city/suburban addresses, using multi-seat vans with trailers for luggage and a roof rack for oversized items such as skis, bikes and other sports gear. Shared rides typically make two to three additional stops along the route. Passengers can also book an Exclusive (private) shuttle for a group travelling together, including Cross Town and Cross Country options. The company promotes 24/7 availability, fixed pricing typically around half the cost of a taxi, and both online and app-based booking, alongside walk-up ranks at airport terminals.
### Business and group travel
Super Shuttle explicitly markets a business service with charge-back account facilities and group discount rates, and highlights its Exclusive service (Cross Town and Cross Country) as suited to team-building days, visits to specific venues, and field visits requiring larger luggage capacity.
### MICE suitability
As New Zealand's only nationwide, long-running shared-ride airport shuttle provider, Super Shuttle is a practical fit for conference delegate airport transfers in Wellington, whether via cost-effective shared rides for individual arrivals or exclusive/private shuttles booked for a group travelling together. Its stated business account and group-rate options make it straightforward for MICE organisers to set up recurring delegate transfers for an event.
