Many transport options are available for getting to and from Auckland Airport, which is conveniently located between both Auckland city and Manukau city.

We have a number of bus, shuttle, taxi and rideshare services available for pick-up from the domestic terminal forecourt. At the international terminal, pick-up for buses is located in or adjacent to the Transport Hub. For taxis, rideshare and super shuttles, pick-up is located at the Transport Pick-up Zone a short 1-2-minute walk out door 11 by the arrivals area. For pre-booked taxi's the meeting point is located inside arrivals. For off-site shuttles, pick-up is located at the Off-site Transfer zone a short 5–7-minute walk north of the Transport Hub, behind the Te Arikinui Pullman hotel.

For those driving their own vehicles visit our airport maps page to find the best route to your destination.

If you require mobility access, please visit the special assistance page.

We recommend travellers allow plenty of time when travelling to and from the airport to allow for any delays and ensure you arrive at least three hours before your international flight or one hour before your domestic flight. Transport to and from the airport is undergoing some changes, please view the roading network upgrades.

Changes are coming to parking at Auckland Airport’s Domestic terminal.
As part of the upgrades to the regional airfield, car park Standard+ M will become a single-day drive up only car park from 1st August 2025. As a single-day maximum 24 hour car park, this is best suited to those wanting to park for a short stay to welcome or farewell friends and family or same day trips. No pre-booking is available for Standard+M.

If you need to park for a slightly longer stay closer to the Domestic terminal we recommend using car parks Standard K, L & O or Valet. Alternatively you can also use one of our Park&Ride locations.
