Local taxi companies are available to meet scheduled flights. A taxi rank is located directly outside the terminal building. It is advisable to pre-book, especially for arrivals outside of peak hours. Companies include Taupo Taxis and Great Lake Taxis.
Several major car rental companies operate from Taupo Airport, with service desks located inside the terminal. Options typically include Avis, Budget, and Hertz. Booking in advance is highly recommended to ensure vehicle availability.
There is no direct public bus service that stops at the Taupo Airport terminal. To connect with the local 'Taupo Connector' bus network, travelers will need to take a taxi or arrange a shuttle into the town centre.
First time here was in Oct 05 in CNY with BSC. Can't remember who landed - might have been me?
We did a scenic flight in a C172 out of Taupo, over the huge Lake Taupo (itself filling the caldera of a massive volcano that erupted last 1,800 years ago, and there are some theories that the Ice Age would have been caused by the ashes from its largest explosion 26,500 years ago), then down to Ruapehu, a 9000ft volcano which is still active. A unique experience and a must-see for anyone visiting New-Zealand north island.
