How does airport meet-and-greet work at Wellington Airport

A meet-and-greet at Wellington Airport means your chauffeur monitors your flight in real time, meets you inside the terminal at the arrivals area holding a name board, then escorts you to your vehicle and takes care of your luggage. We’ve been running this service since 2002, so you’re met by someone we’ve trained and employ directly—not an app contractor who might cancel.

Where exactly will I find my chauffeur at Wellington Airport?

Your chauffeur waits in the public arrivals area just outside the baggage claim exit, holding a name board with your details. If you’re arriving on a domestic flight, that’s the main terminal ground floor; international arrivals come through the same building after customs clearance.

What happens if my flight into Wellington is delayed?

We track every flight automatically, so your chauffeur adjusts their arrival time to match yours—no need to call or text. The price stays fixed regardless of delay, with no extra waiting fees or surge charges.

How long does my chauffeur wait if I’m slow collecting bags?

Your chauffeur monitors baggage delivery and waits as long as needed for you to clear customs and collect your luggage. The meet-and-greet includes reasonable waiting time at no additional cost; we understand Wellington’s baggage belts can be unpredictable.

Can the chauffeur help with luggage and car seats?

Yes—your chauffeur loads all bags into the vehicle, whether that’s a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to three passengers and three bags, a V-Class for seven passengers and six bags, or a Sprinter for larger groups. If you’ve pre-arranged child seats, they’ll already be fitted and ready.

How do I know which vehicle will actually pick me up?

The vehicle you select when you book—sedan, SUV, or mini-coach—is the one that arrives. You’ll see the fixed, GST-inclusive price for your specific route and vehicle class at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you confirm, and that’s exactly what you pay.


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.
