A full-day car and driver in Christchurch means a Mercedes at your disposal, an employed chauffeur who stays with your schedule, and a fixed GST-inclusive rate agreed before you confirm. The chauffeur arrives on time, waits when you need them to, and moves between stops without fuss—whether that's meetings across the city, a Banks Peninsula day trip, or a combination of both.
What does a full day actually include?
You book the vehicle and chauffeur for a set number of hours—typically eight to twelve—and use them as your schedule requires. The chauffeur waits between appointments, adjusts to changes, and remains available throughout the day rather than dropping you and leaving.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day booking?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits one or two passengers with standard luggage; the V-Class works for up to four passengers or when you need more space; and the Sprinter handles groups up to ten. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
Can the chauffeur take me outside Christchurch?
Yes—day bookings often include Akaroa, Hanmer Springs, the wineries around Waipara, or even a return trip to Kaikōura. The fixed price covers the full itinerary you agree when booking, so there's no meter running or surprise charges.
How do I know the total cost before committing?
The price is shown in full—GST included, no surge, no hidden fees—before you complete the booking at /book. It's fixed for the day, regardless of traffic or minor route changes, so you know exactly what you're paying from the start.
Who will be driving?
An employed chauffeur trained and accountable to chauffeur.co.nz, not an app contractor. They know Christchurch, dress appropriately, and stay discreet—they're there to make the day run smoothly, not to fill silence or upsell.
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.
