Hourly chauffeur service in Wellington gives you a professional driver and premium vehicle for as long as you need, whether that's a two-hour business itinerary or a full day moving between appointments. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered by-the-hour bookings across the capital with the same fixed, GST-inclusive pricing and punctual service that defines every job we take.

What vehicles are available for hourly hire in Wellington?

You can book a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers, a V-Class for up to four, or a Sprinter mini-coach for up to ten. Each vehicle comes with corresponding luggage capacity, and the one you reserve is the one that arrives.

How does hourly pricing work?

You pay a fixed, GST-inclusive rate shown in full before you confirm the booking — no meter, no surge, no surprises. The exact price depends on the vehicle and duration you select, and you'll see the complete figure at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you commit.

Can I book hourly service for meetings around Wellington CBD and the Hutt Valley?

Yes. Hourly bookings let you move between locations — Lambton Quay to Lower Hutt, the Terrace to the airport, or any combination — with a chauffeur employed and trained by us waiting between stops. It's designed for itineraries where you control the schedule.

Is the driver someone you employ directly?

Every chauffeur is on our payroll, trained by us, and accountable to us. You won't get an app contractor who can decline the job or cancel last-minute — just a professional driver who knows Wellington and arrives on time.

How far in advance should I book hourly chauffeur service?

Booking a day or two ahead is usually fine for most Wellington itineraries, though same-day requests can work depending on availability. The earlier you reserve, the more certainty you have — particularly if you need a specific vehicle or a longer block of time.


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.
