Private Customised Transport & Tours at Your Doorstep — Anywhere, Anytime
HAULA® Shuttles, a premium and professionally-run transport service. We are based in Queenstown and cover the lower South Island. Regardless of the hour, we’re committed to serving your needs. Late flight arrivals are no hurdle – we promise a friendly meet and greet. We traverse the less trodden routes, reaching locations in Otago and throughout New Zealand often missed by conventional bus services.
Our commitment lies in customising services according to YOUR needs, and we assure you, our solutions are budget-friendly. Be it local transportation, overnight or multi-day group services, private or corporate clients, we cater to all demographics. We offer transport for meals, winery tours, and sightseeing with multiple stops, ensuring a safe and confidential service. We’re authentically local – owned and operated by a native New Zealander, an former Commercial Pilot at that!
“Phil took my group from Queenstown to Dunedin Stadium for the ALL Blacks Rugby Test Match. Despite the frosty winter roads, Phil knew his way around. His excellent overnight trip with intriguing detours reassured us of safety and comfort. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED”

Private Boutique Transport Solutions with a Personal Touch
HAULA is not a taxi service, not an Uber - We're proudly 100% independent and locally owned.
Run by a husband-wife duo, semi-retired in their early 50’s. Phil, your primary driver and guide, brings his diverse experiences as a former Commercial Pilot, Dive Instructor, Mountain Event Marshal and business owner. Haula® Private Shuttle Tours and E-Bike Journeys meet a regional transport need with a unique, personal touch.
Our clientele chooses us for an array of reasons, invariably wanting a professional, reliable, fully licensed and experienced shuttle service for their loved ones and staff – delivered by locals born and raised in NZ who know the terrain like the back of their hands!
No one does Shuttle Transport like HAULA. Phil brought HOT Tea AND Coffee onboard at MT Aspiring, a welcome surprise after 5 days in the wilderness. Highly recommended.
