A $3.00 airport fee applies to airport pick up and drop off. This is a fee Wellington Airport requires from small passenger services providing pick-ups and drop-offs.

These fees will be added to the riders’ overall fare and automatically collected by Ola. You will not be required to pay anything to the Airport directly.
