An hourly executive chauffeur in Christchurch gives you a single driver and vehicle for as long as your schedule demands, whether that's half a day or a full week. The chauffeur waits, moves with your agenda, and takes you wherever you need to go across the city and beyond. You're billed at a transparent, fixed hourly rate with no meter and no surge.
What does as-directed chauffeur service actually mean?
The driver stays with you for the duration you've booked — waiting between appointments, adjusting routes in real time, and moving to your next destination when you're ready. You're not locked into a fixed itinerary; the day unfolds as your needs do.
Which vehicle will I get for hourly hire in Christchurch?
You choose when you book: a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two large bags, a V-Class for up to four passengers and four cases, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten. The vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives.
Can the driver cover the whole Canterbury region or just the city centre?
Your chauffeur can work across greater Christchurch — the CBD, Riccarton, Fendalton, Merivale, Sumner, and out to Christchurch Airport — as well as further afield to Akaroa, Hanmer Springs, or anywhere else your day requires.
How is hourly chauffeur pricing structured?
You pay a fixed, GST-inclusive hourly rate with no surge pricing and no hidden fees. The total cost is shown in full before you confirm the booking. Visit the booking page to see the exact rate for your date and vehicle.
Who will be driving — an employee or an app contractor?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house, and accountable to the company. You won't be handed off to a contractor who can decline or cancel the job.
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.
