Dunedin is a very accessible city. If you arrive in Dunedin by air and have not arranged a vehicle to get you to the city, many taxi companies operate cars and airport shuttles into the city. Fares vary, so make sure you ask before you board. If you wish to hire a car, the major rental car companies are located within the airport terminal.

Getting around Dunedin is relatively easy as distances to major places of interest are not great. If you wish to travel independently, your transport options include public bus, rental car or taxi.

There are also a number of tour companies which give you the opportunity to experience Dunedin city and Otago Peninsula without the hassle of organising a tour yourself. Choose from a structured tour with a set itinerary or take advantage of the Otago Explorer's Hop On Hop Off service which offers you the flexibility of  stopping at various attractions around the city.
