There is no bus stop at Nelson Airport, leaving you to shuttles, taxis or renting a car.
Two companies operate an Airport shuttle service: Nelson Shuttles and Super shuttles. Both Shuttles and taxis can be found just outside the terminal. All the main car rental companies are represented here. You can find the customer service counters inside the main terminal.
