Subtle Shuttles

We’re very excited to introduce our brand-new van, Antoinette, proudly brought to us by Ingham North Harbour! 🇫🇷💛

Antoinette is named after someone who has helped us through the purchase of our vans and has made what can be a pretty stressful process so much easier along the way. We thought it was only fitting that she should get a van named after her!

We’re absolutely thrilled with our newest addition and can’t wait to get Antoinette out on the road! 💛🚐

Our new shuttles might not be so subtle anymore... With our bold new branding, you'll probably spot us before we spot you! While our look has changed, what hasn't is what Subtle really means to us.
It's the little things:
✨ Greeting you by name.
✨ Helping with your luggage.
✨ Getting you to your destination safely and on time.
✨ Making your journey comfortable and stress-free.

The signwriting may be louder, but our attention to the subtle details that make great customer service is stronger than ever.

Because being Subtle Shuttles has never been about blending in, it's about quietly doing the little things exceptionally well.

Please share!

🚐🇫🇷 Introducing... Gaston! 🇫🇷

A huge thank you to everyone who sent in name suggestions for our new van. We loved reading them all, but Gaston - suggested by Helen Pearce - was the clear winner to us! 👏

The name is perfect for our new French addition and will always be a fun reminder of the little fuel saga that started it all! 😅⛽

Thanks again for all your support. Keep an eye out for Gaston on the road soon! ❤️👀

Ever wondered what the inside of our shuttle looks like? Here you go 👀

Plenty of space, good airflow, and definitely no sardine-can vibes in here. You can sit back and relax in comfy seats that are similar in size to the regional Air New Zealand planes - and yes, some recline too 🙌

🎉 Wowee! We've gained 100 new followers overnight! 🎉

A huge thank you to everyone who has joined us and those who have shared/recommended us.

For all our new followers, we thought we'd repost our route so you can see where we travel each day between Timaru and Christchurch.

Book through www.subtleshuttles.co.nz

Want to see a second, later run?

We're working towards it, but we need more bums on seats first! If you'd like more travel options between Timaru and Christchurch, please support us by booking with us and spreading the word to friends and family.

Every seat sold helps us grow. Thanks for your support!
