A chauffeur removes the parking puzzle from graduation day at Victoria University or Massey Wellington, delivering your family directly to the ceremony entrance while you focus on the celebration. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives—a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter driven by a chauffeur we employ, not an app contractor. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has handled fixed-price, no-surge transfers across Wellington.

Which Wellington campuses does the service cover?

The service covers both Victoria University campuses—Kelburn and Pipitea—as well as Massey Wellington's Mount Cook campus. Your chauffeur will confirm the exact ceremony location and drop-off point when you book.

How does a chauffeur help on graduation day?

Your chauffeur collects your group from home or your accommodation, delivers you to the ceremony entrance, then returns at the agreed time to collect you afterward. No circling for parks, no meter running, no walking from a distant car park in formal wear.

What size vehicle for a graduation party?

The Mercedes E-Class seats up to two passengers, the V-Class up to four, and the Sprinter up to ten. Each vehicle is sized for luggage as well—useful if you're heading to the airport or a restaurant straight after the ceremony.

How is the price calculated for graduation transport in Wellington?

You'll see a fixed, GST-inclusive price in full before you book—no surge pricing, no meter. The exact figure depends on your pickup and drop-off locations and the vehicle you choose; visit /book to see the number for your specific trip.

Can the chauffeur wait between ceremony and photos?

Yes. When you book, specify your ceremony time and estimated finish, and your chauffeur will coordinate the return pickup. Many families book a return leg timed for after the official photos at the Hunter Lawn or the waterfront, rather than asking the driver to wait on-site.


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.
