Tell us your pickup and destination to confirm service and vehicle availability in your area.
Christchurch Taxis is focused on taxi and private transport enquiries across Christchurch and selected nearby Canterbury destinations. Pre-booking is recommended for specialised vehicles and longer trips.
The areas above represent locations customers may enquire about, not a guarantee of instant dispatch or 24-hour vehicle availability.
Airport taxi, maxi or accessible: book the right vehicle.
A standard car can suit a city trip, while a maxi taxi may be more practical for larger groups or travellers with substantial luggage. Wheelchair passengers may need specific boarding equipment and vehicle restraints. We recommend arranging special requirements in advance rather than assuming the nearest available taxi will suit.
Christchurch Airport has designated commercial transport pickup arrangements, and airport access or parking charges can apply. Before you confirm, ask about your estimated fare, waiting conditions and the correct pickup point.

Straightforward information for residents, visitors and travellers.
How do I book a taxi in Christchurch?
Call Christchurch Taxis on 027 587 2835. Share your pickup address, destination, travel time and passenger count. A booking is confirmed when the transport arrangement is accepted.
Can I pre-book a taxi to Christchurch Airport?
Yes, you can request an advance airport transfer. Provide your flight number if arriving, as well as luggage and passenger details. Confirm pickup instructions and any airport access or waiting fees when booking.
Do you offer maxi taxis or larger vehicles?
You can request maxi taxi and larger-vehicle options for group travel. Seating and luggage capacity depend on the vehicle available, so tell us the number of adults, children and bags before booking.
Can I arrange a wheelchair-accessible taxi?
You can enquire about wheelchair-accessible transport. Tell us whether the passenger remains in their wheelchair, any equipment or hoist requirements, the pickup location and the number of accompanying travellers. Please book ahead where possible.
Do you offer Christchurch Airport shuttle services?
We focus on private taxi and pre-booked transfer enquiries, including group transport. This is not necessarily a fixed-route shared shuttle service. Please ask about the suitable vehicle and arrangement for your trip.
Are taxi fares fixed or metered?
Fare arrangements depend on the selected journey and vehicle. Ask for the applicable estimate or quote and confirm whether the fare is metered or agreed, including parking, tolls, waiting or airport fees.
Can I book a taxi for Rolleston, Lincoln or Rangiora?
You can enquire about selected Christchurch–Selwyn and North Canterbury journeys, including Rolleston, Lincoln, Kaiapoi and Rangiora. Confirmation depends on vehicle availability and trip arrangements.
Do you provide child seats?
Please request any child restraint before confirming your booking. Availability and suitability must be confirmed; a child seat should not be assumed to be fitted in every vehicle.
Can international visitors book a Christchurch taxi?
Yes, visitors can contact us in advance with flight details, accommodation address and their preferred pickup time. Include the country code when calling from overseas: +64 27 587 2835.
Can I use the BAJ mobile app?
BAJ is a separate marketplace that offers eligible taxi and rideshare requests through its Rider App. BAJ app bookings and Christchurch Taxis phone bookings are separate channels, with different confirmation and support arrangements.
Prefer to request a ride on your phone?
BAJ Rider App is a separate New Zealand transport marketplace offering eligible rideshare, taxi and outstation requests where drivers are available. App bookings follow BAJ’s own confirmation, pricing and support terms; downloading the app does not make a booking with Christchurch Taxis.
