How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Christchurch?
You book a Mercedes E-Class or V-Class for a set number of hours, and your chauffeur remains at your disposal for that period.

The fixed price covers the entire period, with no hidden charges.
What vehicles are available for hourly executive chauffeur service?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan accommodates up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, while the V-Class SUV seats up to four passengers with four suitcases plus four carry-ons.

Is the chauffeur really on time for hourly bookings?
Your chauffeur is employed directly by us—trained in-house and accountable to our standards, not an app contractor who can decline or run late.

We've operated this way since 2002.
Can I use hourly chauffeur service for airport wait time?
