How far is Wellington Airport from typical CBD congress venues like Te Papa or the Michael Fowler Centre precinct?

Wellington Airport sits approximately 8 kilometres from the central city, with transfer times typically ranging from 15 to 25 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. Legacy’s drivers are positioned based on real-time flight arrival data rather than scheduled times, ensuring the vehicle is ready when delegates clear customs. For multi-day congresses, this monitoring layer applies to every inbound and outbound delegate movement across the event.

What vehicle types work best for moving medical congress delegates between Wellington hotels and venue sessions?

Medical congresses typically require a mix of executive sedans for individual VIP or international speaker transfers and mid-capacity vehicles for group hotel-to-venue shuttles. Legacy’s fleet includes European sedans suited to discrete, professional service and larger vehicles that accommodate morning departure loops from multiple accommodation properties. Vehicle allocation can be adjusted during the event as delegate numbers or programme requirements change.

Can Legacy coordinate transport for offshore sponsor groups attending the same congress but requiring separate billing?

Yes. Legacy’s account-managed model allows segmented service delivery within a single event: distinct vehicle assignments, separate driver briefings, and itemised billing per client group. A DMC managing multiple inbound delegations can present tailored service to each sponsor or corporate client while Legacy consolidates dispatch and reporting on the back end. Each group receives its own invoice and movement record for internal acquittal.

Does Legacy track international flight arrivals for delegates flying into Wellington from Australia or further offshore?

Legacy’s operations platform monitors live flight status for inbound arrivals and repositions drivers to match actual landing and customs clearance times. When flights from Sydney, Melbourne, or long-haul connections via Auckland are delayed or arrive early, the system updates driver dispatch automatically. The congress organiser receives status confirmation without needing to monitor flights independently or make manual driver calls.

How does pricing work for a multi-day medical congress with variable delegate numbers and uncertain evening function venues?

Legacy provides account-managed pricing scoped to the full event, not per-trip rates. The proposal reflects the estimated movement manifest — airport transfers, daily shuttles, evening functions — with flexibility to adjust vehicle counts and timings as the programme finalises. Pricing is structured as a consolidated service package, and variations are managed through the assigned account contact rather than ad-hoc re-quoting. For repeat annual congresses, multi-year agreements with locked pricing structures are available.
