Welcome to SMOOTH RIDE - your friendly, local transfer and shuttle service based in beautiful Queenstown, New Zealand. We’re more than just a ride — we’re your travel partner, ready to make your journey safe, smooth, and comfortable. At SMOOTH RIDE, we know every trip matters, whether it’s a quick airport pickup or an unforgettable sightseeing adventure. Our story began with a simple idea: travel should be stress-free, reliable, and welcoming for everyone. Today, we proudly help visitors, families, groups, and locals get where they need to go — on time, every time. Our fleet includes spacious vans, private shuttles, and family-friendly cabs with car seats when you need them. We specialise in airport transfers, private tours, ski field shuttles, group charters, and special event transport. No trip is too big or too small — we’re here for solo travellers, couples, families, or big groups. Our drivers are experienced, friendly locals who know the roads, the shortcuts, and the hidden gems of our region. With SMOOTH RIDE, you’re not just booking a vehicle — you’re booking peace of mind. We value safety above all. Our vehicles are well-maintained, clean, and ready for any season — even the snowy mountains.
Heading up to Coronet Peak, Remarkables, or Cardrona for a ski trip? We’ve got you covered with 4WD vans and gear space. Need a private day tour to Milford Sound, Te Anau, Glenorchy, or Wanaka? Let us show you the best spots along the way. We also help make your wedding day, conference, or special event run smoothly with reliable group transport. Smooth Ride proudly supports local tourism and our Queenstown community. We believe in warm hospitality, fair pricing, and honest service — that’s our promise to you. We’re flexible too — need an early morning pickup? A late-night drop-off ? We’re ready when you are. Your comfort matters. Our vans are spacious, clean, and perfect for luggage, sports gear or extra passengers.
Travelling with kids ? Just ask - we can provide baby or child seats on request.
