When you book a chauffeur by the hour in Wellington, you pay a single fixed rate that includes GST, with no surge pricing or running meter. You’ll see the total cost before you confirm, and the vehicle you reserve—whether a Mercedes sedan, V-Class, or Sprinter—is the one that will arrive with one of our employed chauffeurs behind the wheel.
What’s included in the hourly rate?
The hourly rate covers your chauffeur’s time, the vehicle, fuel, and GST. There are no hidden fees, no meter ticking up as you travel, and no surge pricing during busy periods. You’ll know the complete cost when you book at /book.
How do I know the final price before booking?
Enter your pickup location, drop-off or duration, and preferred vehicle on our booking page. The system calculates a fixed, all-inclusive price and displays it in full before you confirm. No surprises, no estimates—just the number you’ll pay.
Can I use hourly hire for multiple stops around Wellington?
Yes. Hourly hire suits itineraries with several destinations—running errands in Thorndon, meetings across the CBD, or a tour through Miramar and out to the Hutt Valley. Your chauffeur waits while you attend to each stop, then continues when you’re ready.
Which vehicle should I choose for an hourly booking?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan works for up to three passengers with three bags. If you’re travelling with a larger group or more luggage, the V-Class takes seven passengers and six bags, while the Sprinter accommodates up to 16 people and 16 bags.
Who will be driving during my hourly hire?
You’ll have a chauffeur we employ directly—trained by us and accountable to our standards. We don’t use app contractors who can decline jobs or operate independently. The same professional driver stays with you for the duration you’ve booked.
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.
