Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 24, 2025
Taxis

A dedicated taxi rank is located directly outside the main terminal doors. The primary local operator is Gisborne Taxis. While taxis are usually available to meet arriving flights, pre-booking is recommended, especially for early or late travel.

Rental Cars

Several major car rental companies operate service desks inside the terminal building, located near the baggage claim area. Options include Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Ezi Car Rental. It is highly advisable to book your vehicle in advance to ensure availability.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public bus service that connects to the Gisborne Airport terminal. The most practical options for reaching Gisborne city centre and surrounding areas are by taxi or a pre-booked rental car.

Railway line Posted by Capitano.Nico on November 23, 2008

Luckily (or maybe not) the rail transport is not that advanced and under utilised and you could wait all day to see a train!

Rail line crosses the runway Posted by david on January 21, 2008

If you zoom in on the satellite photo a bit, you can see that the Palmerston North-Gisborne railway line crosses the runway.
