A day-rate chauffeur in Christchurch gives you a vehicle and driver for your entire itinerary—whether that's six hours touring the Peninsula, a morning at the Botanic Gardens followed by afternoon winery visits, or a full day moving between appointments across the city. You book the vehicle type that suits your group, receive a single GST-inclusive price, and the chauffeur waits while you're inside.
How does booking by the day actually work?
You choose your vehicle—Sedan for two passengers, V-Class for up to four, or Sprinter for up to ten—then tell us your schedule and any stops. We quote a fixed price for the full day, you confirm, and your chauffeur meets you at your first pick-up point and stays with you until the day ends.
What can I use a full-day chauffeur for in Christchurch?
Anything that requires multiple stops or flexible timing: visiting family across Riccarton, Fendalton and Merivale; a Peninsula drive with stops at Akaroa; touring vineyards in Waipara; moving between business meetings; or simply having transport on standby while you attend events. The chauffeur waits at each location, so there's no coordinating separate trips.
Will the same driver stay with me all day?
Yes. The chauffeur who collects you in the morning remains your driver for the entire booking. Every driver is employed and trained by us—not an app contractor—so they're accountable for the full day and familiar with Christchurch routes, timing and conditions.
What's included in the day rate?
The vehicle you've selected, the chauffeur's time, all fuel, parking, tolls and waiting time between your stops. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, with no meter and no surge. Visit the booking page for the exact figure based on your itinerary and hours.
Can I change my plans during the day?
Within reason, yes—if you decide to add a stop in Sumner or extend your time at Christchurch Airport, let your chauffeur know. The core booking covers your agreed hours and area; any significant changes to duration or distance can be discussed on the day or arranged in advance through our team.
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.
