Hourly chauffeur hire in Christchurch means you book a driver and vehicle for as long as your day requires — two hours, six hours, or the full day — and direct them as you go. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, with no meter running and no surge. It's the same chauffeur throughout, accountable to us, not an app.
How does hourly chauffeur hire actually work in Christchurch?
You book a vehicle and driver for a minimum block of time — typically starting at two hours — and the chauffeur remains at your disposal for that period. You direct them to each destination as your plans unfold, whether that's meetings across the city, appointments in Fendalton and Merivale, or a combination of airport collection and errands. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
Which vehicles are available for hourly hire?

What's the pricing structure for an hourly chauffeur in Christchurch?
The rate is fixed and shown in full — including GST — before you confirm your booking at chauffeur.co.nz/book. There's no meter, no surge pricing, and no surprise additions. The exact figure depends on the vehicle you choose and the duration you need.
Can the same driver stay with me for a full day around Christchurch?
Yes. When you book an extended hourly block, the same chauffeur remains with you for the entire period — whether you're moving between the CBD, out to Christchurch Airport, or across to Lyttelton. They're employed and trained by us, so they're accountable throughout your booking.
Is this service only available in Christchurch?

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.
