A day-rate chauffeur in Wellington gives you a dedicated vehicle and driver for however you want to move—meetings across the city, a Wairarapa wine run, or simply door-to-door flexibility without watching the clock. You'll see the full GST-inclusive price before you confirm, the vehicle you choose is the one that arrives, and your chauffeur is employed and trained by us, not sourced through an app.

Which vehicle should I book for a full day in Wellington?

The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class works for up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. If you're travelling with a larger group—up to ten people—the Sprinter Mini-Coach carries ten suitcases and ten carry-ons.

How does pricing work for a day hire?

You'll pay a single fixed rate that covers the full day, shown in full before you book—no meter, no surge, GST included. The exact figure depends on the vehicle and hours you need, and you'll see it on the /book page when you enter your details.

Can I change the itinerary during the day?

Yes. Your chauffeur works to your schedule, so if you want to add a stop in Martinborough, skip a meeting in Lower Hutt, or extend time at a appointment in the city, simply let them know. The day is yours to direct.

Who will be driving?

A chauffeur employed directly by us—trained to our standard and accountable to us throughout the day. We don't use app contractors who can decline jobs or disappear mid-booking.

Does a day rate make sense for airport transfers and sightseeing?

If you're flying into Wellington Airport, spending the day around the region—perhaps the coast or a Wairarapa cellar door—then heading back to the terminal, a day rate often works better than separate point-to-point trips. You keep the same vehicle and driver, and you're not tied to fixed pickup windows.


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.
