Yes — you can hire a chauffeur by the hour for your anniversary in Queenstown. You book a block of hours, the Mercedes and driver stay with you the whole time, and the fixed GST-inclusive price is confirmed before you commit — no meter, no surge. It suits a Gibbston wine afternoon, an Arrowtown dinner, or a lakeside evening without anyone having to drive.
Can one block cover a Gibbston wine afternoon with the car waiting between cellar doors?
Yes — that is what hourly hire is for. Gibbston Valley is about 25 minutes from Queenstown via SH6, and your chauffeur waits at Gibbston Valley, Amisfield and Chard Farm while you taste, then drives you safely back to Queenstown, Frankton or Arrowtown.
Does a winter or ski-season evening anniversary work?
Yes. The car and driver are yours for the block whatever the weather, so a mid-winter dinner with a run up toward Coronet Peak or The Remarkables for the view is no problem — the chauffeur handles the alpine roads and the timing.
Can we combine Arrowtown and Queenstown in one evening?
Yes. Historic Arrowtown is about 20 minutes out, so a block can take in pre-dinner drinks in Queenstown, dinner on Arrowtown's main street, then home — the chauffeur waits and moves you between stops within the hours you book.
How is the price confirmed if there is no meter?
You enter your date, pickup and the number of hours at chauffeur.co.nz/book and the full fixed, GST-inclusive price shows immediately. It never changes with demand or traffic — one number, agreed before you confirm.
Which vehicle suits a couple, and what if friends join?
The Mercedes E-Class carries up to 2 passengers with 2 suitcases and 2 carry-on bags — perfect for two. If another couple joins, the V-Class SUV takes up to 4 passengers and 4 suitcases.
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.
