Hourly chauffeur in a Mercedes V-Class — what does it cost

An hourly V-Class booking in Auckland gives you a seven-seat Mercedes and a professional chauffeur for as long as you need, charged at a single fixed rate that includes GST and never changes with demand. The exact price appears in full when you enter your dates and hours at chauffeur.co.nz/book. Since 2002, we've employed our own drivers and guaranteed the vehicle you reserve is the one that collects you.

What's included when I book a V-Class by the hour?

You get the Mercedes V-Class itself — seating up to seven passengers with room for six bags — plus a chauffeur we employ and train directly, not a contractor who might decline the job. Fuel, tolls, and GST are all part of the single price shown before you confirm.

How do I find out the exact hourly rate for a V-Class in Auckland?

Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, select Auckland, choose the V-Class, and enter your pickup time and the number of hours you need. The complete fixed price will appear immediately, with no surprises and no surge pricing.

Can I use an hourly V-Class for a day around Auckland — Devonport, then the Viaduct, then out to Piha?

Absolutely. Hourly hire works well for itineraries that mix city stops like the Viaduct or Devonport with longer drives to the west coast or North Shore, giving you flexibility without watching a meter climb.

Is the V-Class the only option for hourly chauffeur service in Auckland?

No — we also offer the Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to three passengers and three bags, and the Sprinter mini-coach when you need seats for up to sixteen. All three are available for hourly bookings across Auckland.

Who actually drives the V-Class when I book by the hour?

A chauffeur employed directly by us, trained in-house and accountable to our standards. We don't use app-based contractors, so the same level of service applies whether you book for two hours or ten.


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.
