When you book a meet-and-greet at Christchurch Airport, your chauffeur waits inside the domestic or international arrivals hall with a name board, monitors your flight for delays, and assists with your bags before escorting you to the Mercedes waiting kerbside. The service has been part of chauffeur.co.nz since 2002, and the driver is one of our trained employees, not a contractor who can cancel.
Where exactly will I find my chauffeur at Christchurch Airport?
Your driver waits inside the arrivals hall—international or domestic, depending on your flight—holding a board with your name clearly displayed. If you’re arriving internationally, they’ll be positioned beyond customs and biosecurity, in the public greeting area.
What happens if my flight into Christchurch is delayed?
Your chauffeur tracks the flight in real time and adjusts their arrival accordingly, so you’re met whenever you land. There’s no need to call or message—the wait time is included in the fixed price you see when you book at /book.
How does luggage handling work with the meet-and-greet?
Your chauffeur collects your bags and loads them into the vehicle for you. The Mercedes E-Class holds three passengers and three large bags, the V-Class takes seven passengers and six bags, and the Sprinter accommodates sixteen of each.
Can I be dropped anywhere in Christchurch after landing?
Yes—whether you’re heading to the city centre, Merivale, Sumner, or out to Rolleston or Lincoln, the price you’re quoted before booking covers the full door-to-door journey with no surge pricing or meter running.
Is the driver who meets me actually employed by chauffeur.co.nz?
Every chauffeur is directly employed and trained by us, not an app-based contractor. They’re accountable to our standards, and the vehicle you book—whether the Sedan, SUV, or Mini-Coach—is guaranteed to be the one 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.
