A day-rate chauffeur in Christchurch gives you a professional driver and premium vehicle for as long as you need—whether that's eight hours exploring the Port Hills and Akaroa, shuttling between appointments in Fendalton and the CBD, or a mix of personal errands and leisure. The chauffeur stays with you, the itinerary is yours to shape, and the price is agreed upfront with no meter running.
How does booking by the day work in Christchurch?
You reserve a vehicle and chauffeur for a set number of hours—typically six, eight, or ten—and use that time however you like. Your driver remains on hand throughout, so you can adjust plans on the fly without rebooking or calling a new ride. The fixed GST-inclusive rate is shown in full when you book at /book, with no surge pricing or surprises.
Which vehicle should I choose for a full day?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags and two carry-ons, ideal for solo executives or couples. The V-Class carries four passengers and four suitcases when you're travelling as a family or small group. For up to ten people—extended family or a wedding party—the Sprinter mini-coach offers the space you need. Whichever you book is the vehicle that arrives.
What can I do with a chauffeur for the day in Christchurch?
Many clients combine a morning at Christchurch Airport collecting guests, lunch in Sumner, an afternoon visiting the Botanic Gardens or Riccarton House, then dinner in the city. Others use the day for back-to-back meetings across Addington, Sydenham, and Wigram, or a leisurely drive through the Banks Peninsula. The schedule is entirely yours.
Are the drivers employed or app contractors?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house, and accountable to the company. There's no gig-economy model where a driver can decline your job or arrive in an unmarked car—you get a professional who knows the service standard and the city.
How do I get the exact price for my day?
Visit /book, enter your pickup location, destination, date, and the hours you need. The system calculates a single fixed price—GST included, no hidden fees—and shows it before you confirm. That number covers the full period, whether you're constantly on the move or parked outside a venue for two hours.
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.
