Yes, you can book the same chauffeur and vehicle for your entire South Island itinerary departing from Christchurch. Since 2002, we've arranged multi-day journeys where one of our employed drivers stays with you throughout—whether that's three days through Canterbury and Mackenzie Country or a week-long circuit to Queenstown and back—so you're working with someone who knows your schedule, your luggage, and your pace.
How does booking one driver for multiple days actually work?
You request your full itinerary when you book—dates, pickup locations, overnight stops, daily destinations—and we assign one chauffeur and vehicle for the duration. The fixed, GST-inclusive price covers every day and kilometre; head to /book to see the exact figure for your route. The same Mercedes and driver meet you each morning, whether you're overnighting in Tekapo, Wānaka, or Akaroa.
What happens to the chauffeur and car overnight?
Your chauffeur arranges their own accommodation near wherever you're staying, and the vehicle remains available to you for the next day's travel. You're not paying for their hotel—that's built into the daily rate—and you don't coordinate it; they simply meet you at the agreed time each morning.
Which vehicle makes sense for a multi-day trip?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits two passengers with two large cases and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes up to four passengers with four cases plus four carry-ons; and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates ten passengers with ten cases and ten carry-ons. Whichever you book is the vehicle that turns up, day one through departure.
Can the itinerary change once we're underway?
Speak with your chauffeur on the day and they'll do their best to accommodate reasonable adjustments—an extra photo stop at Lake Pukaki, a detour into Geraldine, a later start one morning. Major route changes or additional overnight legs may require repricing, but small shifts in timing or stops are usually manageable.
Why use an employed chauffeur rather than hiring a car or using an app?
You're not navigating unfamiliar highways, managing fatigue on long stretches between Christchurch and Queenstown, or dealing with a different driver each leg who doesn't know your plans. Our chauffeurs are trained and accountable to us—not app contractors who can decline mid-booking—so the same person is responsible for your journey from start to finish.
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.
