A by-the-day chauffeur service in Christchurch means you book the vehicle and the driver for as long as you need them — the itinerary is yours to set, change or abandon entirely. The chauffeur arrives in the Mercedes, V-Class or Sprinter you selected, waits while you attend to business or sightseeing, and moves on when you're ready.
How does a full-day chauffeur booking actually work?
You reserve the vehicle and driver for a block of time — typically eight, ten or twelve hours — and direct the day as it unfolds. The chauffeur remains with the vehicle throughout, so there's no need to schedule multiple pickups or worry about availability between stops.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day around Christchurch?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. The Sprinter Mini-Coach accommodates ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
Can I change the itinerary during the day?
Yes. Because the chauffeur and vehicle are at your disposal for the reserved hours, you're free to adjust plans, add stops or take longer at any location. The driver is employed by chauffeur.co.nz — trained and accountable to the company, not a contractor working through an app.
What does a full-day rate include in Christchurch?

Where can a day chauffeur take me around 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.
