A private chauffeur-driven car for touring Wellington means a Mercedes E-Class or V-Class with a trained driver who knows the region, quoted at a transparent fixed price before you confirm. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has sent the exact vehicle you book—never a contractor who might decline—so your half-day around the bays or full afternoon through the Wairarapa unfolds without surprise charges or meter anxiety.
What vehicles are available for a day of touring around Wellington?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, while the V-Class handles up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. For larger groups—up to ten—the Sprinter mini-coach is available, and the vehicle you reserve is always the one that arrives.
How does pricing work for a private touring car in Wellington?
You see a complete, GST-inclusive fixed price before you book—no meter, no surge, no surprises. The exact figure for your itinerary appears at chauffeur.co.nz/book once you enter your route and timing.
Can the driver suggest routes around Wellington and the wider region?
Our chauffeurs are employed and trained by us, not app contractors, so they know the Kapiti Coast, Martinborough, and the harbour routes well. They'll follow your plan or offer practical suggestions—Pencarrow Head, Red Rocks, the Remutaka Hill road—but the day remains yours to direct.
Does the chauffeur wait while I stop at wineries or lookouts?
Yes. Build your itinerary with cellar doors in the Wairarapa, a walk at Makara Beach, or lunch in Petone, and your chauffeur remains with the vehicle. The fixed price you see at booking includes reasonable waiting time for a touring day.
Where does the chauffeur pick up for a Wellington touring day?
Collection works from any Wellington address—your hotel in Te Aro, a home in Kelburn, or Wellington Airport if you're starting directly from an arrival. Return works the same way: nominate your finish point when you book.
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.
