Getting to our Mangere depot from Auckland Airport is quick and easy, depending on your mode of transport. By car or taxi, it typically takes just 5 to 6 minutes under normal traffic.

Public transport, like the Line 28 bus, takes longer, around 17 to 21 minutes for the ride, plus potential wait time and a walk or rideshare from the bus stop to our office. Altogether, this option could take anywhere between 30 to 50 minutes.

The easiest and most cost-effective way to reach our Mangere location from Auckland Airport is by using our free-of-cost shuttle service. It’s quick, convenient, and saves you the hassle of carrying luggage or waiting for a bus. Plus, it’s free, which beats the cost of taxis or buses, especially for tourists.

However, if you’re in a hurry or prefer not to wait, a taxi or rideshare is another option. Our location is just a few minutes away from the airport, so it’s a quick ride. Taxis typically charge between NZD $27 and $35 due to the high demand for immediate service. If you’re willing to pay a bit extra for speed and comfort, this is your best option.

To get our ZM shuttle service from Auckland Airport, follow these easy steps. After clearing customs (for international travelers), call or text us using the number provided in your booking confirmation email. Once we receive your message, we’ll dispatch a shuttle to pick you up. Even if you pre-booked your shuttle online, you still need to notify us upon arrival so we can arrange your pick-up promptly.

When your pick-up is confirmed, head to the appropriate terminal. If you’re an international traveler, go outside Door 11 and look for the “Rental Car Shuttle” signs. For domestic travelers, wait outside Door 4 or 7, depending on your airline. The shuttle will be there shortly, so you can relax while we take care of the rest.

Driving from our Mangere car rental depot to Auckland’s central city is quick and easy. The distance is about 18-20 km (11-12 miles) via State Highway 20 and State Highway 1, typically taking 20 to 30 minutes. However, traffic conditions can vary depending on the time of day.

During peak hours, morning (7:00 AM - 9:30 AM) and evening (4:00 PM - 6:30 PM), traffic can slow you down, and the drive may take 35-45 minutes or more. For a smoother journey, take Kirkbride Road or George Bolt Memorial Drive to State Highway 20, then merge onto State Highway 1 towards the city center. Avoid peak hours if possible for a quicker trip.
