A chauffeur in Christchurch means a trained professional who works for us, not a gig-economy driver scrolling an app between jobs. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated door-to-door transfers across the city—airport runs, cross-town trips, anywhere within Christchurch—with employed chauffeurs driving Mercedes E-Class sedans and V-Class SUVs at a fixed, GST-inclusive price you see before you confirm.
What's the difference between a chauffeur and a rideshare in Christchurch?
A chauffeur is employed, trained and accountable to one company. Rideshare drivers are independent contractors who accept or decline jobs through an app, with no employer oversight. When you book with us, the same company that took your booking employs the driver who collects you.
Which vehicles do you use for Christchurch transfers?
We run three: the Mercedes E-Class sedan (up to two passengers, two large suitcases plus two carry-ons), the Mercedes V-Class (up to four passengers, four suitcases plus four carry-ons), and the Sprinter mini-coach (up to ten passengers, ten suitcases plus ten carry-ons). The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
How does fixed pricing work for Christchurch chauffeur transfers?
You see the full GST-inclusive price before you book—no meter, no surge, no surprises. The number covers the entire door-to-door journey, whether it's Christchurch Airport to Fendalton or Riccarton to Lyttelton. Head to the booking page to see the exact figure for your route.
Do you cover all of Christchurch, or just the airport?
We cover the entire city: the airport, the central city, Merivale, Sumner, New Brighton, anywhere within Christchurch's boundaries. Every trip is point-to-point, door-to-door, with the same fixed-price model and employed chauffeur.
Can I book a chauffeur in Christchurch at short notice?
Subject to vehicle and driver availability, yes. The booking system shows real-time availability, so if a time slot appears, it's genuinely open. For peace of mind—especially around early-morning airport departures—booking ahead is always the safer option.
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.
