A car and driver at your disposal in Christchurch means the vehicle stays with you for the day, waiting between stops while you work through your own agenda. The chauffeur handles navigation and parking; you decide the route, the timing, and when to move on. It's charged as a single fixed price, shown in full before you confirm.
Which vehicles can I book by the day in Christchurch?
You can reserve 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 booking guarantees the specific vehicle class you choose — no substitutions on the day.
How does pricing work for a full day with a driver?
The price is fixed and GST-inclusive, covering the vehicle, the chauffeur's time, and fuel for the day. There's no meter, no surge, and the total is displayed before you book. Visit the booking page to see the exact figure for your date and vehicle.
Can I change the itinerary once the day has started?
Yes. The driver stays with you for the booked hours, so you're free to adjust stops, add a detour through Sumner or Lyttelton, or spend longer at a winery than planned. The fixed price doesn't change with route variations.
Who will be driving?
A chauffeur employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz. They're accountable to the company, not contractors working through an app, so there's no risk of the job being declined or handed off.
Does this work for a mix of business meetings and personal errands around Christchurch?
Absolutely. Many clients use a day booking to combine airport pickup, meetings in the central city or Addington, a lunch stop in Merivale, and a final drop at home. The driver waits discreetly between appointments.
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.
