NZTD vs Pīkau

Make your arrival in New Zealand a smoother experience by filling out your New Zealand Traveller Declaration (NZTD) before you get here. You can submit it up to 24 hours before starting your trip to New Zealand. Your declaration will take about 10 minutes to complete and you’ll need to answer the questions in English. You can update it at any time, up until you get to the border in New Zealand. Information you need to provide when filling out your NZTD includes: - Your passport, contact and flight details; - Your immigration status (if required); - Details about your trip, including your recent travel history; - Items you are bringing into New Zealand, including in your carry on bags and checked in luggage. With the NZTD app you can: - Scan your passport to add your passport details; - Add and complete multiple declarations, for example, for your children; - Use offline mode to enter information while you’re flying or out of WiFi or data range. You need to be online to start or submit a declaration. Once you’ve submitted your NZTD there’s nothing more you need to do. You won’t have to print anything out or show a QR code. Your NZTD will automatically show up when your passport is scanned at the border.

Check our current hours and service area on the service website https://www.liftango.com/app/pikau You can make a booking up to a week in advance or the day before your trip. Track your ride in real time to your pick-up location through our easy-to-use app. We even send you a text when we are on the way so you can be ready when we arrive. The app will show your pick-up address and your drop-off destination. Pīkau is a rideshare service. That means Pīkau users heading in the same direction may also be picked up and share the ride with you. Sometimes that may mean you are the only person in the vehicle, and at other times it could be full. It does mean you are expected to meet the vehicle when it arrives, so you don't hold up a ride for others. Our drivers can only wait a few minutes before they must head to their next pickup. All our friendly drivers are trained and have completed comprehensive background checks. If you need extra assistance, they will be happy to help. Pīkau is a collaborative project between Ngātiwai Iwi, Waka Kotahi, Ritchies and Liftango. Any questions, call us on 09 430 0939
