Hourly chauffeur in a Mercedes Sprinter — what does it cost

Hiring a Mercedes Sprinter by the hour in Queenstown gives you a fixed, GST-inclusive rate that’s shown in full before you confirm—no surge pricing, no running meter. The Mini-Coach seats up to sixteen passengers with matching luggage capacity, making it practical for larger groups exploring the Wakatipu Basin or moving between Arrowtown, Glenorchy, and central Queenstown.

How do I find out the exact hourly rate for a Sprinter in Queenstown?

Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book and enter your pickup location, date, and estimated hours. The system shows your complete GST-inclusive price before you commit—we never quote figures that change later.

Is the Sprinter driven by an actual chauffeur or just an app driver?

You get a chauffeur employed directly by us, trained in-house and accountable to our standards. We don’t use app contractors who can decline jobs or operate under a different brand.

What’s the passenger and luggage capacity of the Sprinter?

The Mercedes Sprinter—our Mini-Coach—carries up to sixteen passengers and sixteen bags. If your group is smaller, the V-Class suits up to seven people with six bags, and the E-Class sedan takes three passengers with three bags.

Can I book a Sprinter for winery visits or a trip to Glenorchy?

Yes. Hourly hire works well for multi-stop itineraries around Queenstown—Gibbston wineries, Glenorchy, Arrowtown, or anywhere within the region. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that turns up.

Does chauffeur.co.nz operate from Queenstown Airport as well?

We serve Queenstown Airport and all points across Queenstown itself. Since 2002 we’ve covered Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown—no other cities.


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.
