A private car and driver for your Wellington journeys means a Mercedes arriving on time, driven by a chauffeur employed and trained by us, at a fixed price agreed before you confirm. Whether it's Thorndon to the airport, Kelburn to the waterfront, or Miramar to Lower Hutt, the service stays consistent: the vehicle you book is the one that arrives, and the price doesn't change.
What vehicles are available for private transfers in Wellington?
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 when booking is the one that collects you.
How does pricing work for point-to-point trips around Wellington?
Every transfer is quoted as a fixed, GST-inclusive price before you confirm — no surge, no meter running, no surprises. The exact figure depends on your pick-up and drop-off locations, and you'll see it in full at /book before committing to the journey.
Who drives the car — an app contractor or an actual employee?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard and accountable to the business. You won't be matched with an independent contractor who can decline the job or cancel last-minute.
Can I use this service for trips between Wellington suburbs and the airport?
Yes. Wellington Airport to the city, or between any suburbs — Newtown, Island Bay, Karori, Petone — is exactly what the service is designed for. The same fixed-price, same-vehicle model applies whether you're heading to the terminal or across town.
How long has chauffeur.co.nz operated in Wellington?
The service has been running since 2002, covering Wellington alongside Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown. It's the same standard across all four cities: employed drivers, fixed pricing, and the vehicle promised is the vehicle sent.
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.
