We track your inbound flight to Christchurch in real time and adjust your pickup automatically when delays occur, at no additional cost. Your chauffeur waits for you regardless of how late your plane arrives, so there’s no need to notify us or worry about missing your ride. We’ve built flight monitoring into every airport transfer we operate.
Do I need to let you know if my flight into Christchurch is running late?
No. We monitor your flight status automatically from the time you book, so we already know when your plane actually touches down. Your chauffeur adjusts their arrival at the terminal to match your new landing time without any action required from you.
Is there an extra charge if my Christchurch flight is delayed?
There’s no additional fee for flight delays. The price you see and confirm when you book remains fixed and GST-inclusive, covering reasonable delays as part of the service. Visit /book to see the exact rate for your pickup.
What happens if my flight arrives very early instead?
We track early arrivals just as we do delays. Your chauffeur will be notified and will aim to meet the earlier time, though during peak periods or if they’re completing another transfer, there may be a short wait on your end rather than ours.
How long will the chauffeur wait after I land?
Your chauffeur accounts for the time it takes to disembark, clear customs, collect checked baggage, and reach the arrivals area—typically 45 to 60 minutes for a domestic flight, longer for international. They’ll be there when you walk through, holding a name board.
What if I’m collecting bags and it takes longer than expected at Christchurch?
The wait time we allow is generous and covers typical baggage delays. If something unusual occurs—a carousel breakdown or customs hold-up—your chauffeur remains on-site, and you won’t be charged extra for circumstances beyond your control.
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.
