A car and driver in Christchurch means a private chauffeur service you book by the trip, not the hour—fixed price, no meter, and the same vehicle you reserved is the one that collects you. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has matched employed drivers with Mercedes sedans, V-Class people-movers and Sprinter mini-coaches across the city, from the airport to Fendalton or anywhere in between.
What vehicles are available for car and driver service 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 groups of up to ten with matching luggage capacity. The vehicle you select is guaranteed to be the one that arrives.
How does pricing work for a chauffeur-driven car in Christchurch?
Every booking shows a fixed, GST-inclusive price before you confirm—no surge pricing, no running meter, no surprises when you arrive. Head to the booking page to see the exact fare for your route, whether that's Christchurch Airport to Merivale or a point-to-point trip across town.
Are the drivers employed chauffeurs or app contractors?
Every driver is employed directly by the chauffeur, trained in-house and accountable to the company—not a contractor who can decline your booking or work for multiple platforms. This means consistency in service and someone responsible for getting you where you need to be, on time.
Can I book a car and driver for trips outside Christchurch Airport?
Yes, the service covers any point-to-point journey within Christchurch—hotel to restaurant, home to a meeting in the central city, or airport transfers to suburbs like Sumner or Cashmere. If both your pickup and destination are within the metro area, you can book it.
How far in advance should I book a chauffeur in Christchurch?
You can reserve as far ahead as you like or book the same day, subject to availability. For early-morning airport runs or busy periods, a day or two of notice gives you the widest choice of vehicles and departure windows.
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.
