An executive chauffeur in Wellington means a confirmed vehicle, an employed driver who won't decline the job, and a price locked in before you confirm — the three things you actually need when reliability matters. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated on that basis across the capital, from Wellington Airport into the city, between Thorndon and the Hutt Valley, or out to the Wairarapa.
What makes an executive chauffeur different from a rideshare in Wellington?
The vehicle you book is the one that arrives — a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter depending on your group size — and it's driven by a chauffeur we employ and train, not an app contractor who can cancel. Your price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, with no surge and no meter.
How far in advance should I book for a Wellington Airport pickup?
You can book months ahead or the same day, depending on availability. Because we guarantee the specific vehicle and don't rely on contractor acceptance, advance bookings lock in both the car and the driver accountability — useful when you're coordinating around flight times or back-to-back meetings.
Which vehicle should I choose for an executive transfer in Wellington?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases plus four carry-ons. The Sprinter mini-coach handles up to ten passengers and ten suitcases, though most executive point-to-point work sits comfortably in the E-Class or V-Class.
Can I get a fixed price for a trip from Wellington Airport to Lower Hutt or Petone?
Yes — every route shows a complete, GST-inclusive price on the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you confirm. That number covers Wellington Airport to any address in the region, whether it's the CBD, Johnsonville, the Hutt Valley, or further out, with no surprises added later.
Does the chauffeur service cover destinations outside central Wellington?
The service covers the greater Wellington region, including Porirua, Upper and Lower Hutt, and the airport. For longer point-to-point trips — say, Wellington to Martinborough or Masterton — you'll see the fixed price at booking if the route is supported within our four-city network: Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown.
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.
