Hourly chauffeur in a Mercedes Sprinter — what does it cost

An hourly Mercedes Sprinter hire in Wellington comes with transparent, all-inclusive pricing that’s locked in when you book—no meter running, no surge charges. The exact cost depends on how many hours you need, but you’ll see the full GST-inclusive figure at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you commit. The Sprinter seats up to sixteen passengers with room for sixteen bags, and it’s driven by one of our employed chauffeurs.

What makes the Sprinter different from the other vehicles?

The Mercedes Sprinter is our mini-coach—built for larger groups of up to sixteen people. If you’re moving fewer than eight, the V-Class SUV handles up to seven passengers, and the E-Class sedan takes three. The vehicle you book is the one that turns up.

Can I book a Sprinter for a few hours around Wellington’s waterfront and Miramar?

Yes. Hourly hire lets you design your own itinerary—whether that’s a loop from the city out to Weta Workshop in Miramar, along Oriental Bay, or up to Mount Victoria. Your chauffeur stays with the vehicle for the duration you’ve booked.

How does the fixed price work if I don’t know exactly where we’ll go?

You book a set number of hours, and the price covers that time—regardless of the route within the Wellington region. There’s no meter ticking over and no surprise add-ons. If you need longer on the day, let your chauffeur know and we’ll sort any extension.

Are your drivers actual employees or app contractors?

Every chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained in-house, and accountable to chauffeur.co.nz. You’re not dealing with a contractor who can decline the job or juggle other bookings—it’s one driver, one commitment.

Where do I see the actual price for my Wellington booking?

Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup point, destination if you have one, and the number of hours you need. The system will show you the complete GST-inclusive price before you confirm anything.


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.
