What is the exact Sprinter hourly cost in Christchurch?

$185 per hour with a four-hour minimum — so the smallest Sprinter booking is $740, GST-inclusive and fixed before you confirm. There is no meter and no surge; the number you see at booking is the number you pay.

What is the Sprinter day rate?

A full day in the Mercedes Sprinter is $1480 — one fixed rate for the whole day rather than an hourly tally, ideal when a group needs the vehicle from morning to night.

How many people and bags does the Sprinter carry?

Up to 10 passengers with room for 10 suitcases and 10 carry-on bags. It is the Mini-Coach in the fleet — the whole party, one chauffeur, one vehicle.

When does the Sprinter beat two smaller cars?

When the group is above four. Rather than splitting across two V-Class SUVs (up to 4 each), the Sprinter keeps everyone together for a Christchurch airport group transfer, a wedding party, or a group wine run out to Waipara.

What do fixed Christchurch airport runs cost in the Sprinter?

Published Christchurch airport fares in the Sprinter include Airport to City Hotel $225, City Hotel to Airport $205, and Airport to Lyttelton $480 — each a set NZD price shown before you book, separate from the hourly and day rates above.


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.
