Getting There
 

Dunedin is a very accessible city, but is also hilly. If you arrive in the city and do not have a vehicle, buses and taxis are plentiful and reliable. Getting around the city itself is relatively easy, as distances are not great. Independent transport options include public bus, rental car or taxi. If driving to Otago Peninsula, allow 30 minutes to Larnach Castle, and 45-60 minutes to Taiaroa Head. Fuel is not sold on the Peninsula.

The major rental car companies are located within Dunedin city and at the Dunedin airport terminal.
If you arrive by air and have not arranged a rental vehicle, taxi companies operate cars and airport shuttles into the city. 

Tour companies will help you to experience the city and Peninsula - without you having to organise everything yourself.
