Chauffeur.co.nz offers hourly chauffeur service in Christchurch: you book a driver and vehicle for as long as you need, directing them as your plans unfold. The rate is fixed and GST-inclusive, shown in full before you confirm, with no meter and no surge. You're assigned one of our employed chauffeurs in the Mercedes you reserve — Sedan, SUV or Mini-Coach — for the duration you choose.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Christchurch?
You book a vehicle and driver for a set number of hours, then direct them during that window — whether it's meetings across Fendalton and Merivale, a run out to Akaroa, or simply having transport on standby while you work. The clock starts when your chauffeur arrives at your first pickup point and runs for the hours you've reserved.
Which vehicle should I book for an hourly chauffeur in Christchurch?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class SUV takes four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. The Sprinter Mini-Coach accommodates up to ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
Can I change my itinerary once the hourly booking has started?
Yes. Hourly service is as-directed: you tell your chauffeur where to go next, whether that's adding a stop in Sumner, waiting outside a venue in the city centre, or heading back to Christchurch Airport earlier than planned. As long as you're within your booked hours, the itinerary is yours to adjust.
What's the pricing structure for hourly chauffeur service in Christchurch?
The price is fixed and inclusive of GST, with no surge periods and no meter running. You see the total cost for your chosen hours and vehicle before you confirm the booking. Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book to see the exact figure for your dates and requirements.
Who will be driving during my hourly booking?
You'll have one of our employed chauffeurs — trained by us, accountable to us, and assigned to you for the full duration. They're not app contractors who can decline a job. The same driver stays with you for the hours you've booked, so there's no handover mid-day.
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.
