When you book a private car and driver for touring Auckland with chauffeur.co.nz, you're reserving a Mercedes from our own fleet — Sedan, V-Class or Sprinter — driven by a chauffeur we employ and train, not an app contractor. Since 2002, we've worked to a simple standard: the vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, at the fixed GST-inclusive price shown before you confirm.
Which vehicle suits a half-day or full-day tour around Auckland?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan works well for one or two passengers exploring the city, waterfront or nearby wine regions. For families or small groups — up to four passengers — the V-Class offers more room and comfort over longer distances. Groups of up to ten should book the Sprinter Mini-Coach.
Can the driver suggest an itinerary, or do I need to plan everything myself?
You set the route and stops — Waiheke Island ferry, Muriwai Beach, Matakana wineries, Piha, or a loop through the Waitākere Ranges. Our chauffeurs know Auckland well and can offer practical advice on timing and access, but the day is yours to shape.
How does pricing work for a touring day, and where do I see the cost?
You'll see a fixed, GST-inclusive price — no meter, no surge — in full before you book at /book. The number depends on vehicle choice and duration, but it won't change once confirmed.
Does the chauffeur wait while I'm at a winery or attraction?
Yes. You book the vehicle and driver for the block of time you need, so the chauffeur remains with the car throughout — whether you're tasting wine at Te Motu, walking the coast at Takapuna, or stopping for lunch in Devonport.
Are your drivers actual employees, or do they work through an app?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard and accountable to chauffeur.co.nz. No contractor can decline your booking or arrive in an unmarked car.
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.
