You can book a chauffeur by the hour in Christchurch through chauffeur.co.nz, operating here since 2002. We offer hourly bookings with a fixed, GST-inclusive rate displayed before you confirm — no meters, no surprises. Your chauffeur is our employee, trained and accountable to us, and arrives in the Mercedes you selected.
What vehicles are available for hourly hire in Christchurch?
You can choose from three Mercedes options: the E-Class sedan for up to three passengers and three bags, the V-Class for up to seven passengers and six bags, or the Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to sixteen passengers and sixteen bags. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
How does hourly pricing work — is there a meter?
There’s no meter. You’ll see the complete GST-inclusive price for your chosen hours before you confirm the booking. Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book to see the exact cost for your specific requirements — pricing is fixed, with no surge charges or hidden fees.
Can I use an hourly chauffeur for shopping or errands around Christchurch?
Yes, hourly hire works well for shopping trips to Westfield Riccarton, errands around the central city, or multi-stop itineraries across Christchurch. Your chauffeur waits while you attend to each appointment, then moves on when you’re ready.
Who will be driving — is it an Uber-style contractor?
Your chauffeur is employed directly by us, not a gig-economy contractor who can decline or cancel. We train and manage every driver, so they’re accountable to our standards throughout your booking.
Can I book hourly chauffeur service from Christchurch Airport?
Absolutely. You can start your hourly booking with a pick-up from Christchurch Airport, then use the time for meetings in Addington, visits to Sumner or New Brighton, or anything else within your hired window.
Fixed prices, NZD, GST-inclusive. No surge, ever. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ — trained by us and accountable to us, not an app contractor who can decline the job. The chauffeur — since 2002.
