Getting Around Auckland with Confidence and Support
If you or a loved one live with mobility challenges, getting around Auckland can sometimes feel overwhelming. That’s where the Total Mobility Card steps in—offering subsidised travel for people who need accessible transport. And at Auckland Mobility Transport, we proudly accept the Total Mobility Card to make your journeys smoother, safer, and more affordable.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through how the Total Mobility Card works, how to use it with our mobility taxi service, and what to expect when you ride with us.
What is the Total Mobility Card?
The Total Mobility Scheme is a New Zealand government initiative that provides eligible individuals with 50% off the fare (up to a maximum subsidy) when they travel with approved transport providers.
Whether it’s a trip to the doctor, a hospital appointment, or just visiting family, this card ensures that mobility isn’t a barrier to living independently and staying connected.
Who Can Use It?
To be eligible for a Total Mobility Card in Auckland, you typically need to meet one or more of the following conditions:
You have a permanent or temporary disability that prevents you from using standard public transport
You live in Auckland and have been assessed and approved by an authorised agency
You are aged 16 and above (some exceptions apply for younger individuals)
Once approved, you’ll receive a personalised smart card that can be used with any registered Total Mobility provider—including Auckland Mobility Transport.
