A Mercedes Sprinter from Christchurch Airport to Lyttelton is offered at a fixed, all-inclusive rate with no surge pricing or meter.

How do I find out the exact Sprinter fare to Lyttelton?

Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter Christchurch Airport as your pickup and Lyttelton as your destination, select the Sprinter, and the complete GST-inclusive price will display before you confirm. No account or payment details are needed to see the number.

Is the Sprinter really necessary for our group size?

The Sprinter makes sense for nine or more passengers, or when you have substantial luggage. For seven or fewer, the Mercedes V-Class is usually more economical and still offers generous space. For three passengers with three bags, the E-Class sedan is the most efficient choice.

Who actually drives the Sprinter to Lyttelton?

A chauffeur employed and trained directly by chauffeur.co.nz — not an app contractor who can decline or cancel the job. The driver is accountable to us, knows the route via the Lyttelton Tunnel or Evans Pass, and will be waiting when you land.

Does the price change if my flight is delayed?

No. The fixed rate covers your transfer regardless of flight delays or traffic through the tunnel. The price you see when you book is the price you pay — no meter, no peak-time surcharges, no recalculation at the kerb.

Will a Sprinter definitely turn up, or might I get a smaller vehicle?

The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives. If you reserve a Sprinter for your group travelling to Lyttelton, a Sprinter will be waiting at the domestic or international terminal — guaranteed since 2002.


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.
