Same story: taking a Gold star of Blue star cab from the airport to my home in Cashmere including the $10 fee costs $58 usually (as opposed to $48 from home to airport). With Kiwi Cab the same ride from the airport was $72. Rip off; never again!

I’ve also had the misfortune of taking a Kiwi Cab from the rank at Christchurch Airport to South Brighton recently. Normally with the more reputable cab companies I would pay around sixty dollars but these monkeys charged me nearer to ninety. I will be proactively warning colleagues and friends not to use this company.
PS I also agree with the other people making comments here the vehicle was tatty and I had to give the driver directions.

I also used KiwiCabs in Christchurch recently after using what I thouight was the same company in Wellington. This is NOT the case. The ChCh company charged a $5 flagfall almost double the rate of Goldband or Bluestar. The per km rate was $3.50 a km, some .80 per km more and a $10 airport fee, about $4 more than Goldband. Overall a trip across town cost me $20 more than normal. A right rip off in an old car.

I too took a cab from chch airport and knew it was dodgy as there was a $10 airport fee and $5 flag fall. Fare cost $43 when normal cost is $33. Km charge was $3 per km This was really expensive I thought and the cab was quite old. I will advise anyone not to use them.

I recently took a Kiwi cab from christchurch airport to my home in Riccarton. I took the first cab on the lot. Normally I take Blue Star. This kiwi cab cost $11 more than any other taxi company I have taken. Just too much for a short ride. I work for a large organisation and I will tell all my staff not to use this company. They are not kiwi They charge just too much.

cab rides can be farely expensive depending on the traffic and the delays. A fare from the airport to the city which takes 15 mins, is alot cheaper than say a 30 min fare. In regards to operating form the airport Kiwi Cabs are in top 3 for lowest fares.Kiwi Cabs also have fixed fares to many hotels standard fee of 34 dollars. as compared to corporate cabs $38.

Kiwi Cab Rip Off
I was disappointed at being ripped off by Kiwi Cab when in Wellington recently. My son and I picked one up from the rank outside Wellington airport to take us to the Bolton Hotel in the CBD. The driver, Phillip on Mob: 021 721-171, charged me $50.30. I queried it as it seemed quite a lot higher than I’ve ever been charged in years past. He justified it saying there was traffic and I used a Visa card to pay.

Once in the hotel, the Concierge told me that Corporate Cabs charge a standard $38 for the airport run and I’d been dubbed.

Needless to say, I’ll avoid Kiwi Cabs in future.

Kind regards,

Fiona Mackenzie
