Auckland Airport information

Our Auckland Airport car rental branch is only a skip and a hop from the Airport terminal buildings. Whether you are landing at Auckland International Airport or our domestic terminal, it is a short 3-5 minute drive. A shuttle service can be most easily arranged via our GO App. When you land, log into the app and request a pick-up.

If you’ve arrived at the Domestic Terminal, you can reach our shuttle pick-up area by walking outside Door 9 and across the pedestrian crossing. If you’ve arrived at the International Terminal, head out through Door 8, cross the pedestrian crossing and follow the sign for “Off-site Shuttle Transfers”. If you haven’t downloaded the GO App, you can contact our team on +64 9 974 1598 to organise your pick-up.

Then, simply jump onto a shuttle van to our Auckland Airport car hire branch and get GOing on a Kiwi adventure. Whether a hybrid vehicle, 4WD or an SUV is right for your trip, we have the car for your unforgettable journey.

    Went to New Zealand to see our family and to de-stress and it was wonderful. A highlight was Wainui Reserve and the wild beach near where we used to live at Whale Bay. It was so peaceful and the scenery was just gorgeous. Healing for the soul! GO Rentals also played a massive part in the stress-free arrival and departure. So thank you :)
