Complaint #: 65
Taxi from Airport to Auckland City
Catch taxi from Auckland Airport to Auckland City 2:00 AM in morning

1. Driver took a long route to reach city.
2. In city also drove to down town and then taken taxi to hobson street.
3. Meter showed NZD78.00 but he charged NZD79.00 + NZD7.00 i.e NZD86.00 in total saying that this is how all taxis charge in New Zealand.
4. Attitude was also very rude and you dont feel safe travelling with him (as if you argue with him and he's gonna hit you hard)

Your fare should have been around only $33 NZD according this sites estimate:

Ensure you email Gold Line Taxi and make them aware of this complaint -- they deserve to see it.

I have caught cabs from the airport to the city and have paid around $50 many times.

I just googled "gold line taxi" and the 5th result is another complaint against the same cab company. Here's that complaint:

Looks like these guys have a habit of blatantly ripping people off. What a shame. That complaint is very similar to yours.

I purposely paid it by ETFPOS as i wanted to keep this on record for future purposes.

Transaction record from my bank:
10 Nov 2014 CARD 5846 AGL - ATS 330108-327-624 $86.90
