A private chauffeur for touring from Christchurch means an employed driver in a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter, with a fixed GST-inclusive price set before you book. The chauffeur has been operating since 2002 with vehicles you select and drivers trained in-house, not sourced through an app. The vehicle you reserve is the one that collects you.
Which areas around Christchurch can a private chauffeur take me to?
A chauffeur can take you throughout greater Christchurch — Lyttelton, Sumner, the Port Hills — and into Canterbury for destinations like Akaroa, Kaikōura, Arthur's Pass or the Waipara wine region. The fixed price is shown in full on the booking page before you confirm.
What size vehicle do I need for a day of touring with luggage?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits two passengers with two large cases plus carry-ons; the V-Class takes up to four passengers with four cases; and the Sprinter accommodates ten passengers with ten cases and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
How does pricing work for a full day of private chauffeur touring?
Pricing is fixed and GST-inclusive, with no surge and no meter running. The full cost is shown on the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you confirm, and it covers the itinerary you specify when you reserve.
Will the same driver stay with me for the entire tour?
Yes — the chauffeur is an employee trained and accountable to the company, not an app contractor who can decline or hand off a job. The same driver remains with you for the duration of your booking.
Can I book a chauffeur tour starting from Christchurch Airport?
Yes, tours can begin from Christchurch Airport or any address in Christchurch. The fixed price and vehicle choice are confirmed when you book, whether you're starting from the terminal, a hotel in Merivale, or a home in Fendalton.
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.
