Hourly chauffeur hire in Wellington from chauffeur.co.nz is one fixed, GST-inclusive NZD rate for the block of time you book — the same Mercedes and the same chauffeur stay with you from the first stop to the last, with no meter between them and no surge on a busy night.

Booking by the hour suits the Wellington days that have more than one stop — a multi-venue celebration, a run between the city’s restaurants and bars, a day moving between the waterfront, the hills and Te Papa. You hold the car and chauffeur for the hours you choose; where you go inside that block is yours, and the waiting between stops is already in the price.

The rate is fixed before you book and does not move on the day — no meter ticking while you linger over dinner, no peak-night surge, no figure that grows because the evening ran long. A platform sends whoever accepts the ping; we send the chauffeur confirmed with your booking, and the exact Mercedes you chose is the one waiting at the kerb.

Choose the E-Class for two, the V-Class for a small group, or the Sprinter when everyone travels together — all Mercedes, all booked on the website in about a minute with no app and no account. Wellington is one of four cities we own rather than merely cover, and we have done this one thing since 2002.

How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Wellington?

You book a block of hours at a fixed, GST-inclusive NZD rate set before you commit. The car and chauffeur stay with you for that block; waiting between stops is included, with no meter and no surge.

Can we make multiple stops on an hourly booking?

Yes — within the hours you book the itinerary is yours, as many stops as you like, with the chauffeur waiting at each.

Which vehicle should we choose?

The Mercedes E-Class for two, the V-Class for a small group, or the Sprinter when everyone travels together — book the hours you need on the website in about a minute.

Is the driver a contractor?

No. Every chauffeur is employed by us, trained by us, and confirmed with your booking — the vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.


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.
