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 vehicle waits between appointments, whether you're moving between Fendalton, the CBD, or out to Riccarton, and the clock runs continuously from your booked start time. 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. For larger groups needing hourly service, the Mercedes Sprinter Mini-Coach carries up to ten passengers with matching luggage capacity. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.

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. For hourly service, punctuality at your first pickup point is non-negotiable, whether that's your hotel, a Merivale office, or the arrivals hall at Christchurch Airport. We've operated this way since 2002.

Can I use hourly chauffeur service for airport wait time?

Yes, hourly booking is ideal when your flight arrival into Christchurch Airport is uncertain or when you're collecting someone and need flexibility. Your chauffeur waits without meter anxiety, and you're charged only the pre-agreed hourly rate. It also works well for departures when you want the vehicle on standby before your scheduled pickup.
