How long does the drive from Christchurch Airport to Addington take?

The journey typically takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on traffic and your exact address in Addington. The route generally follows Memorial Avenue north into the city, then west via Moorhouse Avenue or Blenheim Road.

Can the V-Class fit my group and luggage if we’re coming from an international flight?

The Mercedes V-Class accommodates up to seven passengers and six large bags, so it’s well suited for families or small groups arriving with checked luggage. If you have more bags than passengers, mention it when booking so we can confirm the fit.

Who will be driving—an app contractor or an employed chauffeur?

You'll be driven by a chauffeur we employ directly at chauffeur.co.nz. They’re trained by us, accountable to us, and won’t decline your job once it’s confirmed—unlike ride-share drivers who work through an app.

Is the price locked in, or will it change if my flight’s delayed?

The price is fixed when you book and won’t change due to flight delays or traffic. There’s no meter and no surge pricing, so the amount shown at chauffeur.co.nz/book is what you pay.

What if I need a smaller or larger vehicle instead of the V-Class?

If you’re travelling solo or as a couple, the Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to three passengers and three bags. For groups of eight to sixteen, the Sprinter mini-coach is available—select your vehicle when you enter your trip details.


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.
