When you need a car and driver in Christchurch, chauffeur.co.nz puts a trained, employed chauffeur behind the wheel—not an app contractor who might cancel. Since 2002, we've offered point-to-point service in Mercedes vehicles at a fixed, GST-inclusive price agreed before you confirm, with no meter and no surge.

What's the difference between this and a rideshare?

Our chauffeurs are directly employed and trained by us, so they're accountable to the company, not freelancers using an app. The vehicle you book—whether a Mercedes E-Class Sedan, V-Class, or Sprinter—is the one that arrives, and your price is locked in upfront with no surge pricing.

Which vehicles are available in Christchurch?

You can book a Mercedes E-Class Sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, a V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons, or a Sprinter Mini-Coach for up to ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. Full details are on the /cars page.

How does pricing work for door-to-door trips?

Every trip shows a fixed, GST-inclusive price before you book—no meter running, no surge. Visit /book, enter your pick-up and drop-off addresses in Christchurch, and you'll see the exact amount before committing.

Can I use this for Christchurch Airport transfers?

Yes, door-to-door service covers trips to and from Christchurch Airport, as well as transfers between city addresses, suburbs like Merivale or Fendalton, and other points around Christchurch. The same fixed-price, professional-driver model applies to all point-to-point journeys.

Do you cover other South Island cities?

We operate in Christchurch and Queenstown in the South Island, plus Auckland and Wellington in the North Island. If your journey starts or ends outside those four cities, we won't be able to help.


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.
