A personal chauffeur in Christchurch from chauffeur.co.nz is your own driver and car for the occasion — a special dinner, an anniversary, a day of your own appointments — at a published, fixed, GST-inclusive NZD rate. The Mercedes E-Class is $125 an hour, the V-Class $145, the Sprinter $185, on a four-hour minimum; a full day is $1000, $1160 or $1480. No surge, no meter, and the chauffeur who arrives is employed by us, not a contractor who accepted a ping.
A personal day in Christchurch can wander — lunch in the central city, an afternoon at the gardens or a winery out toward Waipara, dinner, then home. The natural way to book your own chauffeur is by the hour or for the day, so the car and driver stay with you the whole time rather than turning over between stops. The wait while you’re at the table is part of the fixed price, not an extra.
Christchurch is the one city where we publish the per-hour rates outright: $125 for the E-Class, $145 for the V-Class, $185 for the Sprinter, on a four-hour minimum, or a full day at $1000, $1160 and $1480 — GST included, the same number whether it’s a quiet Tuesday or a busy Saturday. There’s no figure added at the end and no meter running between stops. A platform sends whoever accepts; we send your chauffeur, confirmed with the booking, in the exact Mercedes you chose. This is your occasion, driven privately — not a corporate account and not a shared airport run.
Three vehicles cover whatever the day looks like: the E-Class for two, the V-Class for a group, the Sprinter when everyone travels together — all Mercedes, all booked on the website in about a minute, no app and no account. We’ve done one thing since 2002, and Christchurch is one of four cities we own rather than merely cover.

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.
