Client Reviews
Straight from the passengers
We fly into Auckland every few months for work and always stay at QT. Using CBD Transfers has become part of the routine — the driver's always there, the car is tidy, and it's one less thing to worry about off the back of a long haul from London.
Our flight was delayed coming in from Singapore. I'd already stressed myself out about it but the driver was just... there. Waiting, no drama, no extra charge. Exactly what you want after 11 hours in the air. Brilliant service.
Turned up with two kids, a pram, and about six bags. The driver sorted everything without batting an eyelid. The car seats were already fitted. Arrived at QT feeling pretty sorted rather than absolutely wrecked, which was a first.
Used them for a corporate group coming over from Sydney — six of us, one van, zero hassle. The invoice was clean, the vehicle was smart, and everyone arrived looking respectable. Will book again without question.
