Connecting communities and people together


Our Story

Matakana Drive was founded by Matt & Laura Owen out of a passion for connecting people with the Matakana and Omaha regions. After 15+ years visiting the area, we noticed a gap in luxury, reliable transport, no Ubers or local taxis were available for airport transfers, weddings, or group trips. Today, our professional chauffeur service is a trusted choice for locals, tourists, corporate clients, and more.
