Christchurch Airport to the University of Canterbury in a Mercedes E-Class is always charged at a fixed rate, inclusive of GST, with no surge pricing or meter running. You’ll see the complete fare when you book online at chauffeur.co.nz — the same vehicle you reserve is the one that collects you, driven by a chauffeur we employ and train directly.
How do I find out the exact price for this trip?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book and enter Christchurch Airport as your pickup and the University of Canterbury as your destination. The system will display the full fixed price, GST-inclusive, before you confirm anything.
Does the price change depending on traffic or time of day?
No. The fare is fixed when you book, regardless of peak hour congestion on Memorial Avenue or delays around the airport. There’s no surge pricing and no meter — the price you see is what you pay.
Which university campus does this cover?
The University of Canterbury’s main Ilam campus is the most common destination from the airport. If you’re heading to a different campus or a specific college building, you can note that during booking or let your chauffeur know on collection.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your chauffeur monitors inbound flights and adjusts pickup timing accordingly at no extra charge. Because we employ our drivers directly rather than using app contractors, they won’t cancel or pass your booking to someone else.
Can the Mercedes E-Class fit my luggage after an international flight?
The E-Class comfortably seats up to three passengers and holds three large suitcases. If you’re travelling with more people or bags — common for students arriving with term luggage — the V-Class takes up to seven passengers and six bags.
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.
