You can book a chauffeur by the hour in Wellington through chauffeur.co.nz, whether you need transport for back-to-back meetings across the city, a few hours of shopping in Lambton Quay, or a flexible schedule around the harbour. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, with no surge pricing or meter running while you work.

What vehicles are available for hourly hire in Wellington?

You can book a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to three passengers, a V-Class SUV for up to seven, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to sixteen. The vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives, and all pricing is shown in full at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you commit.

How does hourly chauffeur pricing work?

The price is fixed and includes GST, with no meter and no surge charges regardless of traffic or time of day. You’ll see the total cost before booking, so there are no surprises when moving between appointments in Thorndon, the waterfront, or out to Miramar.

Who will be driving?

Your chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard and accountable for the service. We don’t rely on app contractors who can decline jobs or arrive in unmarked vehicles.

Can I use an hourly chauffeur for airport pickups and city errands?

Yes. Hourly bookings work well if you’re collecting someone from Wellington Airport then heading to meetings in the CBD, or combining a drop-off in Kelburn with errands in Lower Hutt. The flexibility suits schedules that don’t fit a simple point-to-point transfer.

How far in advance should I book?

Booking ahead is always safer, especially during weekday business hours or when Parliament is sitting. You can reserve through chauffeur.co.nz as soon as your schedule is confirmed, and you’ll have the fixed price locked in from the moment you book.


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.
