When you're moving between back-to-back meetings in Wellington, a dedicated car and driver turns travel time into productive time—or at least reliable time. You step out of one appointment on The Terrace, your chauffeur is waiting, and you're at the next address in Thorndon or the waterfront without hunting for parking or watching a meter climb. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided employed drivers and guaranteed vehicles across the capital.

What vehicle works for a full day of Wellington meetings?

The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits solo executives or pairs, carrying up to two passengers and two suitcases plus two carry-ons. If you're travelling with colleagues or need more kit, the V-Class takes up to four passengers and four suitcases. Both stay with you for the duration, so there's no rebooking between stops.

How does pricing work for multiple stops around Wellington?

You see a single fixed price—GST included, no surge, no meter—before you confirm the booking. Head to /book, enter your itinerary with each address, and the system calculates the total. That number doesn't change, even if a meeting overruns or traffic backs up on the Quay.

Is the driver actually employed, or is this an app dispatch?

Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house, and accountable to the company—not a contractor who can decline the job or cancel en route. That matters when your schedule is tight and a no-show would derail the day.

Can the same car stay with me from Wellington Airport through to evening meetings?

Yes. Book the full sequence—airport arrival, midday stops in Pipitea or Lambton Quay, late meetings in Lower Hutt—and the same vehicle and driver remain assigned. The vehicle you book at the start is the one that arrives and stays, so you're not handed off between drivers or car classes.

What happens if a Wellington meeting runs over time?

Your chauffeur waits. Because pricing is fixed upfront and the driver is employed rather than gig-contracted, there's no pressure to rush or renegotiate. Let the driver know the revised pick-up time, and they'll adjust—keeping the rest of your itinerary intact.


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.
