An hourly chauffeur in Auckland means a single professional driver and premium Mercedes for as long as your day requires — two hours, eight, or longer — directed entirely by you. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered this as-directed service with a fixed, GST-inclusive price shown in full before you confirm, no surge pricing or running meter.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Auckland?
You book a minimum block of time — typically starting at two hours — and your chauffeur remains at your disposal for that period, waiting between stops and taking direction from you as your plans unfold. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, whether that's an E-Class sedan, V-Class SUV, or Sprinter mini-coach.
What can I use an as-directed chauffeur for in Auckland?
Anything from a string of business meetings across the CBD and North Shore, to shopping stops in Newmarket and Parnell, winery visits west toward Kumeu, or a flexible day combining Auckland Airport pickup with errands before your hotel. The driver waits while you attend to each appointment, then moves on when you're ready.
Is the price really fixed for the whole booking period?
Yes — the total cost for your chosen hours is calculated and displayed before you confirm on the /book page, GST included, with no meter running and no surge adjustments. You'll know the exact figure upfront, covering the vehicle, the chauffeur's time, and all waiting between your stops.
Who will be driving?
A chauffeur employed and trained directly by chauffeur.co.nz, accountable to the company rather than an app contractor free to decline work. The same driver stays with you for the duration of your booking, learning your preferences as the day progresses.
Which vehicle should I choose for hourly hire?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags and two carry-ons; the V-Class handles up to four passengers and four suitcases plus four carry-ons; the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. Reserve whichever matches your group size and luggage for the day.
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.
