Testimonials

"My experience with Rotorua Taxis has been a fantastic, seamless one! I decided to get in touch with Rotorua Taxis later last year to see whether or not they would be able to provide transport for our wedding guests. We were getting married at a private property in quite a remote location outside of Rotorua, and had guests staying in town overnight. Rotorua Taxis took all the stress away and were by far the most willing and easy to deal with organisation to take on the job. They provided transport from a few central locations both to the venue and returning in the evening. They also provided fantastic flexibility for guests to leave when they wanted to, or party right until the end. Towards the end of the night (around 1am) the driver actually came in to check how many more guests needed transport and to which locations to ensure everyone had a ride and got home safely! I would 100% recommend this service to anyone in a similar position. I will certainly be finding another excuse to throw a party soon and use Rotorua Taxis."

Thank you to your driver for getting my laptop back to me before my flight on Sunday. I really appreciate the extra effort he put in to locate me as the owner when I left my laptop in his cab. Thanks also to your admin staff for helping to locate the driver. Great service all around!”
