Directions

International airport:
Once through the Customs area, you can turn either left or right. To the left is marked Tours & Groups, this will take you to the bus staging, shuttle and taxi ranks areas outside the glass doors of the building. The Airbus is on the extreme right, past the taxi rank. An Airbus leaves every 20 min. [5:00am - 10pm] from there and this is the cheapest ride into Auckland. They will drop you at our door.

We also have a free phone to Base Auckland backpackers in the Visitor's Information Centre in the main arrivals area. The Receptionist can arrange for a Shuttle driver to collect you from the free phone or give you instructions to get to the Shuttle Rank.

Driving to Base Auckland:
Head to Queen Street, this is the main street of Auckland and is marked on every map. Driving down Queen Street, turn left onto Darby Street. This is a smaller street between Victoria and Wellesley Street. You'll see our doorway 5 metres down Darby St, and there is a car park 20 metres further down Darby Street.

Heading back to the airport:
When you want to return to the Airport, remember to book your Airbus ticket at reception and get our discounted rate! Airbus picks up at Base Auckland's door every 20 minutes from 5:10am to 10:00pm and the other shuttles can be booked for a specific pickup time, 24hrs a day. You can take a taxi to and from the airport, but as its 22km from downtown to the airport the fare is much higher than a shuttle or Airbus. If you do take a taxi ask at the reception for a discounted flat rate from the city to the airport.

Remember Customs and Immigration require you to check in two hours before your flight. It's wise to check in one hour prior to domestic flights, and don't forget to add travel time to this when you arrange your pickup.
