Life has become faster. Less personal. More expensive.

We want the opposite.

We want travel to be less rushed, fair priced, with a personal touch.

Scott’s is an old-school Taranaki service.

Built on 19 years of Value. Pride. Trust.

We are a door-to-door, shared, scheduled shuttle. This means we aren’t the quickest. We aren’t ‘on-demand’.

We could list the reasons why we think a shared, scheduled service is better:

We can plan based on your flight and be there when you land.

We can plan for luggage, golf clubs, surfboards, bike boxes and families.

We can be there on time for any flight, any time of day.

We can communicate plans clearly, so you know exactly what to expect.

We can stay on top of flight schedules and make booking easy.

By sharing journeys, we can offer more affordable airport transport.

But what Scott’s really boils down to is providing a

Great Community Service At A Fair Price.

How Does Scott’s Compare?
Taxi

The premium, direct option.

Scott’s is up to 60% cheaper in some suburbs, and it’s great for large families with lots of luggage.

Uber

Fast and on-demand.

Scott’s can be booked months in advance, is up to 40% cheaper, and we can be trusted for those 5 am pickups.

Airport Parking

Convenient for 1–2 day trips.

After 3 days, parking and fuel costs exceed the return shuttle’s cost.


This can be as much as 35% for a 5-day trip and 66% for a 10-day trip.

Getting a Lift

The free option.

Free for you. Not free for the person driving. There is still fuel and 1–2 hours of someone’s time for a return trip. Let us handle those early mornings and late-night pickups.


Why Shared Transport Works
We really believe in the shared model
Scott’s combines travellers heading to the same airport into one scheduled journey.

That means fewer vehicles making the same trip and lower costs for everyone.

💰
Lower Cost

Sharing the journey helps keep fares affordable.

🅿️
Less Parking

Fewer people need to leave vehicles at the airport.

🚗
Less Congestion

One shuttle can replace several separate journeys.

😊
Better Experience

Friendly local drivers, help with luggage, and a service built around people.

Our aim with Scott’s is to make it even more affordable.

Got Anymore Questions?
Good to know before you book.

Is the price per person?

No. $36 is the per-booking price for groups of 1–5 passengers anywhere in New Plymouth.

When will I get my pickup time?

Pickup times are coordinated based on your flight and baggage requirements. We typically aim for airport arrival around 75 minutes before departure for international connections, 60 minutes for domestic connections with checked baggage, and 45 minutes for carry-on only. 


Exact pickup times are confirmed by 6 pm the evening before travel.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track incoming flights and adjust arrival pickups automatically, so there is no need to contact us if your flight is running late.

Can you take larger groups above 5 people and do you travel outside New Plymouth?

Yes, we can take groups of up to 11 people. We also service Inglewood, Oakura and surrounding areas. Prices vary depending on group size and location.
