When you land at Christchurch Airport, your chauffeur is already there — vehicle parked kerbside, your name known, ready to leave when you are. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered travellers a simpler arrival: a trained driver we employ directly, a Mercedes you've chosen in advance, and a fixed price locked in before you fly.
Where exactly does the driver meet me at Christchurch Airport?
Your chauffeur waits kerbside at the domestic or international terminal, holding a name board and parked in the designated pick-up zone. You'll have their mobile number, so a quick call or text when you collect your bags ensures a seamless handover.
Which vehicle should I book for my group?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. For four passengers with four suitcases, the V-Class offers the space you need. Larger groups — up to ten travellers — fit comfortably in the Sprinter mini-coach, and the vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
How does the fixed-price model work for airport transfers?
You see the full GST-inclusive price before you confirm — no meter, no surge, no surprises when you land. Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter Christchurch Airport and your destination, and the system shows the exact fare for your chosen vehicle.
What if my flight is delayed or early?
Your chauffeur monitors your inbound flight and adjusts pickup timing accordingly. Because they're employed and trained by us — not an app contractor who can decline the job — you have one accountable driver assigned to your booking, regardless of schedule changes.
Can the driver take me anywhere in Christchurch after landing?
Yes. Whether you're heading to a Riccarton hotel, a Merivale address, or straight through to Akaroa or Hanmer Springs, your chauffeur is at your disposal for the journey you've booked. The service covers Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region as a point-to-point transfer.
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.
