A private car and driver for touring from Wellington means a Mercedes you've chosen yourself, a chauffeur employed and trained by us, and a fixed GST-inclusive price agreed before you confirm. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated on one principle: the vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, driven by someone accountable to us, not an app contractor who can decline the job.
Which vehicle suits a day of touring around Wellington?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan works for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. If you're travelling with three or four, the V-Class takes four passengers and four full suitcases plus four carry-ons. For larger groups up to ten, the Sprinter mini-coach is available.
Can I tour the Wairarapa or the Kapiti Coast with a chauffeur from Wellington?
Yes. Your chauffeur can take you to Martinborough, Greytown, Palliser Bay, or north to Waikanae and Paekākāriki. The fixed price covers the full itinerary — distance, time, and waiting — with no meter running.
How does pricing work for a full day of touring?
You'll see the complete GST-inclusive price before you book — no surge pricing, no hourly meter. The number depends on your route and time, so visit /book to enter your itinerary and see the exact figure.
Who actually drives the car?
A chauffeur we employ directly. They're trained by us, accountable to us, and committed to the booking. You won't deal with an app contractor who can decline or cancel at the last moment.
Can I start the tour from Wellington Airport instead of the city?
Yes. Whether you're arriving at Wellington Airport or beginning from your hotel, the Waterfront, or another address in the city, the booking works the same way — fixed price, vehicle guaranteed, chauffeur employed by us.
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.
