The 11 seater van is the largest vehicle Auckland Taxi Vans runs: eleven passenger seats, a driver who knows the city, and one flat fare for the whole van. It exists for the groups nothing else handles in a single trip, the full sports squad, the double-family holiday, the entire office heading to the same function.
One vehicle for the whole group
Once a group passes eight people, the usual options get messy. Three ordinary taxis means three fares, three drivers and three different arrival times. The 11 seater ends that arithmetic. A football starting eleven fits in one vehicle. Two families sharing a bach for the holidays travel together with their bags instead of convoying. A stag do or a leaving party moves as one unit, which is rather the point of the night.
Fares for 8 to 11 passengers
Airport fares are flat and per vehicle, and the 9-to-11 tier is priced the same whether nine, ten or eleven people climb aboard.
| Route (either direction) | 8 to 11 passengers, per van |
|---|---|
| Auckland CBD to Auckland Airport | $140 |
| Papakura to Auckland Airport | $130 |
| Howick to Auckland Airport | $145 |
| North Shore to Auckland Airport | $150 |
| Henderson to Auckland Airport | $155 |
| Albany to Auckland Airport | $190 |
Trips that are not on the airport list get an instant fixed quote through the booking form, with van fares starting from an $85 minimum. The complete tier-by-tier airport table, from solo travellers upward, is on the Auckland Airport van transfers page.
The per-person maths
Because the fare belongs to the vehicle, a full van turns a premium ride into small change per seat:
- CBD to the airport: $140 across 11 people is under $13 each
- Papakura: $130 across 11 is under $12 each
- North Shore: $150 across 11 is under $14 each
- Albany: $190 across 11 is just over $17 each
Compare the alternative on our own rate card: split eleven people into two smaller vans from the CBD and you are paying $222 in total ($125 plus $97 on our own rate card). Keeping everyone in the 11 seater is $140 and one pickup time.
Sports teams and event groups
This van spends its weekends doing team runs: Saturday fixtures, regional tournaments, school sport, supporters heading to Eden Park or Go Media Stadium. Kit bags, boots and a set of training gear travel fine; flag anything unusually bulky in the booking form. Midweek it turns into the event shuttle for conference groups, Christmas parties and family reunions. If your event needs more structure than a single pickup, the group transport Auckland page covers larger movements, and smaller crews should compare the 8 seater taxi before deciding.
11 seater van FAQs
How many passengers fit in the 11 seater?
Eleven passengers plus their luggage. It is the biggest vehicle in the fleet, and the 8 to 11 fare tier costs the same regardless of which of those three numbers you land on.
How much is the 11 seater from the CBD to Auckland Airport?
$140 flat for the whole van. Split between 11 passengers that is under $13 each, and the price is locked in when you book.
Does the 11 seater cost more than the 8 seater?
Within the 8 to 11 tier, no. Eight, nine, ten or eleven passengers pay the same per-van price, so filling the extra seats adds no cost. (From the CBD, groups of 6 to 7 travel on the cheaper $125 tier.)
Can we bring team gear or event equipment?
Yes, standard kit bags and luggage are expected. List anything oversized, such as goal-keeping gear, banners or instruments, in the booking form so the right van is allocated.
Do you only do airport trips?
No. The 11 seater covers any point-to-point trip in the Auckland region. Enter your addresses in the online booking form for an instant fixed quote; the van minimum is $85.
