Why choose Green Cabs Taxi?
Proudly locally owned & operated
Green Cabs Queenstown stands out as a trusted transport choice in the region, proudly locally owned and operated by Kirsty Barclay. Kirsty is a driving force in the Southern Lakes transport sector, owning and operating both Wanaka Transfers & Tours and Green Cabs—two locally rooted businesses that reflect her commitment to service, community, and innovation. Since founding Wanaka Transfers in 2022, she has grown the company into a trusted provider of private transfers and tours across the lower South Island, known for its personalised, reliable approach and strong customer care ethos.
Her expansion into Queenstown through the acquisition of Green Cabs marks a significant milestone, extending her influence across the region and strengthening locally owned transport options. What sets Kirsty apart is not just her business success, but her position as one of the only female owners in a traditionally male-dominated transport industry—leading with a hands-on, people-first philosophy that prioritises safety, flexibility, and genuine connection with passengers.
Of Māori descent, Kirsty brings a cultural grounding to her work that emphasises manaakitanga—the value of hospitality, care, and respect for others. This is reflected in the way her services operate: not just as transport providers, but as welcoming, community-minded experiences that showcase the region through a distinctly local lens.
Through resilience, vision, and a strong sense of identity, Kirsty Barclay continues to pave the way for greater diversity in the transport industry while building businesses that are both commercially successful and deeply connected to place and people.
