Your chauffeur can absolutely make stops on the way from Wellington Airport to your final destination. Whether you need to pick up groceries in Kilbirnie, collect a colleague in the CBD, or swing past a pharmacy, simply let us know when you book and we’ll include it in your fixed price. The vehicle you’ve reserved will wait while you complete your stop.
How do I request a stop when booking from Wellington Airport?
Add your stop details in the booking notes at chauffeur.co.nz/book, or contact us directly after you’ve reserved. Include the address and roughly how long you’ll need — whether it’s a quick two-minute pickup or fifteen minutes inside a shop — so we can factor it into your journey and quote accordingly.
Will adding a stop increase the price?
Yes, stops are factored into your fixed, GST-inclusive price because they add distance and waiting time. You’ll see the complete cost before you confirm your booking — no meters, no surge pricing, no surprises when you arrive. The quote you see at chauffeur.co.nz/book is what you pay.
What if I need to make a stop I didn’t plan for?
Let your chauffeur know as soon as you’re in the vehicle. While we prefer advance notice so we can quote accurately, our employed chauffeurs have the discretion to accommodate reasonable unplanned stops. Any adjustment to your fare will be confirmed before proceeding, and you’ll never be charged without your agreement.
Are there limits on how long my chauffeur will wait during a stop?
Brief stops — collecting someone from a Newtown address or grabbing takeaways in Miramar — are straightforward. Longer errands of twenty minutes or more are fine too, but the waiting time becomes part of your booking cost. Be realistic about timing when you book so we can provide an accurate fixed price from the start.
Can I make multiple stops between the airport and my destination?
Multiple stops are welcome, whether you’re collecting passengers from different hotels along Thorndon Quay or running errands across the city before heading home to Khandallah. Just list each address when booking so we can map the most efficient route and give you one complete, transparent price for the entire journey.
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.
