My last visit to CHC was a late arrival and I admit I jumped into a cab as they are right in front of you as you exit the airport. On the return I did grab an Uber and the driver mentioned they were not allowed to pick up at the airport so people were advised to walk to the nearest hotel (Sudima) and get picked up from there. After a quick google it seems this information seems valid however I'm not sure what the current status is.
Uber drivers were not allowed to use its drop-off lane, forcing passengers to walk to the nearby Sudima Hotel to be picked up. "Uber does not require its drivers to comply with NZTA guidelines, so we are not able to allow Uber to operate through the airport," a spokeswoman for Christchurch Airport said.
