Kiwi Hotel Auckland offers discount taxis for their guests
Monday, 22 September 2014 by Mark Sandiford
BEST PRICE OPTION FOR TAXI FROM AIRPORT TO CITY
Getting from Auckland International
Airport to Auckland city centre in a taxi can be a real shock
to the system. It's only approximately a 20km journey but when you
factor in traffic delays, it can feel more like a 40km trip.
Stay central for the best deal
One of the main advantages of visiting New Zealand's largest and
most vibrant city is being able to stay right in the city centre,
it's where everything happens - food, culture, arts and transport
options.
If you are looking for
location, value and real comfort, you'll want to choose the
Kiwi International
Hotel simply because it's
right on Auckland's main city centre street, Queen Street. It's
just the getting into Auckland city that can be a bit of a headache
for the uninitiated.
This is where we can help
with not only advice about this great city but with the best
Auckand taxi service prices.
The New Zealand Herald is this country's largest and most
well respected daily publication. The following is an excerpt from
an article they published around the costs associated with taxi
fares in and around Auckland city.
"Concerned passengers
contacted the Herald after we published on Saturday a
price comparison by global travel company Cheap Flights that showed
Auckland as the third most expensive of 24 cities around the world
for catching a cab from its airport to city centre.
In April an Australian
couple, who did not wish to be named, contacted the Taxi Federation
after being charged $94 for a 21.1km journey from the airport to
the Rydges Auckland Hotel in the city centre. The taxi driver, Ray
Chandra, told the Herald: "That's the normal price of a taxi
... it can be up to $130. It depends on traffic and all
that."
While our Australian visitors were not aware of this normal
level of charges, their shock and disappointment could have been
avoided had they been guests at the Kiwi International Hotel.
GUARANTEED DISCOUNT TAXI PRICE A GREAT DEAL
This so called "normal
price" does not apply here for our guests.
Kiwi Hotel develops and
nurtures relationships with providers across the city and they have
a secured a supplier arrangement with Discount
Taxis that gives our
guests a guaranteed price like this:
- $40 from Airport to Kiwi Hotel
- $35 from Kiwi Hotel to Airport
Compare that to the normal
fare of up to $130 and you can see that Kiwi Hotel guests receive
about 70% discount of the 'normal' taxi price!

our Location page.
So who said you have to pay
the normal price...
While it's not accepted
practice to haggle on taxi fares, there are other ways of getting a
great deal. You just have to know what's on offer and at Kiwi Hotel
we are able to offer you these affordable taxi fares.
And transport is not even
what we do!
However, we do an amazing
job at getting the best price for taxi fares for our guests to
enjoy the comfort of stepping out of the airport and taking an
Auckand taxi at a very reasonable discount price.
So just imagine, if we do
this well at something we don't specialise in, just imagine how
good the results are from the things we are good at, like cost
effective accommodation that doesn't scrimp on the added extras
like 24 hour reception, free Wi-Fi and both bar
and restaurant facilities.
Take the nightmare out of
travelling and staying centrally by taking advantage of the
relationship Kiwi Hotel has with Discount Taxis.
Think of the easy option of taxi travel, but more importantly
think of the savings. Sit back relax and enjoy the ride to the
hotel in the knowledge that your taxi fare is set at $40,
regardless of traffic.
As a guest of Kiwi Hotel a
stress free taxi journey will simply set the tone and be the
beginning of a very enjoyable stay in the heart of Auckland
city.
