When you need a car and driver in Christchurch for yourself or visiting executives, chauffeur.co.nz provides employed chauffeurs and a guaranteed Mercedes fleet — the sedan, SUV or mini-coach you book is what arrives. Since 2002, we've operated as a true chauffeur service: our drivers are trained and accountable to us, not app contractors who can decline the job at the last moment.
What makes this different from a rideshare or Uber?
Our chauffeurs are employees we've trained and hold accountable, not gig workers using their own cars. You book a specific Mercedes — an E-Class sedan, V-Class SUV, or Sprinter mini-coach — and that exact vehicle turns up. Pricing is fixed and shown in full before you confirm, with no surge, no meter, and GST already included.
Which vehicle should I book for an executive and their assistant?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits two passengers comfortably, with room for two large suitcases and two carry-ons. If you're moving a group of three or four, or need more luggage capacity, the V-Class SUV accommodates up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons.
Can I arrange airport pickup at Christchurch Airport for a visiting executive?
Yes — Christchurch Airport transfers are straightforward. When you book at chauffeur.co.nz/book, you'll enter the flight details so the chauffeur monitors arrivals and adjusts for any delay. The fixed price you see covers the full door-to-door journey, whether that's to a hotel in the central city, Fendalton, Merivale, or further out.
How do I get the price for a specific route in Christchurch?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup and destination — say, the airport to a Hagley Park hotel, or a corporate office in Addington to a restaurant in Sumner — and the system shows the complete GST-inclusive price before you commit. We never quote dollar figures elsewhere because the exact number depends on your route.
Does the service cover trips outside the Christchurch city area?
Yes, provided both pickup and drop-off are within the cities we serve: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown. A run from Christchurch Airport out to a winery meeting in Waipara, or a transfer down to Akaroa, is manageable — check chauffeur.co.nz/book to confirm availability and see the route-specific price.
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.
