When you land at Christchurch Airport, a chauffeur employed by chauffeur.co.nz is already waiting for you at the kerb—vehicle idling, ready to leave when you are. Since 2002, we've specialised in fixed-price airport transfers across New Zealand, and in Christchurch that means a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter at your disposal from the moment you clear arrivals.

Where exactly does the chauffeur wait at Christchurch Airport?

Your chauffeur waits kerbside in the domestic or international arrivals zone, depending on your flight. They track your arrival in real time, so if you're delayed or early, the pickup adjusts without you needing to call.

Which vehicle should I book for my group?

The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two checked bags and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases plus carry-ons, and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates ten passengers with ten bags. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.

How does the fixed pricing work for an airport transfer?

You see the full GST-inclusive price—no surge, no meter—before you confirm the booking on chauffeur.co.nz/book. The fare covers the entire journey, whether you're heading to Riccarton, Fendalton, the city centre or further afield, and it won't change if your flight is late.

Can I add a stop on the way from the airport?

Yes. If you need to stop at a Christchurch address—say, Merivale or New Brighton—on your way to your final destination, mention it when you book and the fixed price will reflect the route. The chauffeur is at your disposal for the journey.

Who will be driving?

Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained by us and accountable to us. They're not app contractors who can decline a job or arrive in an unmarked car; you're guaranteed a professional driver in the vehicle you reserved.


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.
