An hourly executive chauffeur in Queenstown means you book a Mercedes and a trained driver for as many hours as you need — morning through evening, or across your entire stay — and go wherever your day takes you. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, with no meter running and no surge. We've been doing this since 2002, using drivers we employ directly, not app contractors.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Queenstown?
You book a vehicle and driver for a minimum block of hours, then direct them as your plans unfold — Queenstown Airport to your hotel, then out to Gibbston Valley, back into town for dinner, wherever. The chauffeur stays with the vehicle and waits while you're inside. You're charged the agreed hourly rate shown at booking, not a running meter.
Which vehicle should I choose for an hourly booking?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class handles up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. For groups up to ten, the Sprinter mini-coach carries ten passengers and ten suitcases plus ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
Can the same driver stay with me for multiple days in Queenstown?
Yes. You can book consecutive days or staggered blocks across your visit — the same chauffeur, the same vehicle, no need to re-explain your preferences each morning. It's particularly useful if you're moving between Queenstown, Arrowtown, Glenorchy or the wineries and want continuity.
What's the difference between your chauffeurs and rideshare drivers?
Our chauffeurs are employees we've trained and who answer to us, not independent contractors who can decline a job or cancel. They know Queenstown's geography, wait when you need them to, and handle luggage as part of the service. You deal with one company from booking through to completion.
How do I find out the hourly rate for Queenstown?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your date, time, and the number of hours you need, and the fixed GST-inclusive price appears in full before you confirm. No surge pricing, no hidden fees, no surprises. The rate covers the vehicle, the chauffeur, fuel, and waiting time within your booked window.
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.
