Chauffeur.co.nz offers hourly car and driver service across Auckland with a guarantee you won't be kept waiting. Since 2002, we've provided Mercedes sedans and people-movers driven by chauffeurs we employ and train ourselves, not app contractors who might cancel. Every booking shows a fixed, GST-inclusive price upfront—no surge charges, no running meter.
What vehicles are available for hourly hire in Auckland?
You can book a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers, a V-Class for up to four, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of ten. Each vehicle comes with luggage capacity to match—two full suitcases plus carry-ons in the sedan, four of each in the V-Class, and ten of each in the Sprinter.
How does hourly booking work for Auckland trips?
You reserve the vehicle and driver for a set number of hours, paying a single fixed rate shown in full before you confirm. The chauffeur remains at your disposal for that period, whether you're moving between Parnell, Ponsonby and the Viaduct or need flexibility for appointments across the city. No meter runs and no surprises.
Are the drivers actually employed chauffeurs or gig workers?
Every driver is a chauffeur employed directly by us, trained to our standard and accountable for punctuality and service. We don't use app-based contractors who can decline jobs or arrive in unmarked cars—the vehicle you book is the one that turns up.
Can I use hourly hire for Auckland Airport pickups and other stops?
Yes. An hourly booking works well when you need the car to wait—whether that's collecting someone from Auckland Airport then continuing to a hotel in the city centre, or making multiple stops around Newmarket, Remuera and back to the airport.
How do I find out the exact hourly rate?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book and enter your details—date, time, vehicle and estimated hours. The system calculates your total fixed price including GST immediately, with nothing added later. We've never used surge pricing and the quote you see is what you pay.
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.
