A chauffeur at your disposal in Wellington means the vehicle and driver stay with you for the day, moving at your schedule rather than a fixed itinerary. You might book the E-Class Sedan, V-Class, or Sprinter depending on your group, pay one transparent price set before you confirm, and direct your chauffeur as plans unfold—whether that's meetings in Thorndon, a lunch run to Martinborough, or an afternoon at Zealandia.
How does pricing work when I hire a chauffeur for the whole day?
You see a single GST-inclusive price before you book—no meter, no surge, no surprises. The day rate covers the vehicle, the driver's time, and the flexibility to change plans without renegotiating. Head to the booking page to see the exact figure for your date and vehicle choice.
Which vehicle should I choose for a full day with three passengers and luggage?
The V-Class handles up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons comfortably, so three people with bags will have plenty of room for a long day. If you're travelling light or it's just two of you, the E-Class Sedan works well. The Sprinter suits groups up to ten.
Can I change our plans during the day, or do I need to stick to an itinerary?
You can adjust on the fly—that's the point of having the chauffeur at your disposal. If a meeting finishes early or you decide to add a stop in Petone or along the Kapiti Coast, just let your driver know. The vehicle and chauffeur remain yours for the booked window.
Is the driver an employee or someone who works through an app?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house, and accountable to the company. No one can decline your booking or arrive in a different vehicle than the one you reserved.
Does a full-day booking work for trips outside Wellington city, like the Wairarapa?
Yes. A day booking covers wherever you need to go within reason—Martinborough wineries, Castlepoint, or a return run to Palmerston North all fit the model. The chauffeur stays with you, so there's no concern about pick-up windows or connecting transfers.
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.
