We run a very well organised on schedule event and time is very crucial. Bus was on time if not earlier than expected which was great. Managing a group of 40 is very challenging at times, Kay made things so easy for me and we were super happy with the services.

We hired Rentabus for my partners stag event. I booked over the phone with Kay, and she made it so easy. We received follow up emails confirming everything, and the week prior I made a last minute change, and it was hassle free

Christchurch Airport Shuttle and Charter Buses

If you’re searching for an airport shuttle or a charter bus that can transport you to or from the Christchurch International Airport, Rentabus can help you find exactly what you need. If you have a group of around 20 people, it would be a good idea to book a minibus. Often you are tired from your trip, so having a Christchurch airport shuttle ready for your arrival will provide huge benefits to your team. If you have a larger group we recommend that you hire a coach for the shuttle.

Getting your group from the plane to the hotel can be a logistical nightmare. Using a large number of taxis or rideshares, or waiting for public transport isn’t the most cost-effective option. Instead, you should consider renting a bus to get you from the airport to your destination.

Are you trying to catch a flight with a large group and aren’t willing to risk anything? Let Rentabus help you charter a bus with a professional driver to get your group to the airport together and on time.
