An hourly chauffeur in Wellington is priced as a fixed, GST-inclusive rate with no surge charges or metered fares—the full cost is displayed upfront when you book at chauffeur.co.nz. Since 2002, we’ve employed our own drivers and operate a fleet of Mercedes E-Class sedans, V-Class SUVs, and Sprinter mini-coaches across the capital.
What’s included in the hourly rate?
The hourly rate covers your chauffeur’s time, the vehicle you’ve selected, GST, and all standard running costs. There are no hidden fees, no meter running in traffic, and no surprise surge pricing—what you see when you book is what you pay.
How do I find out the exact hourly cost?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book and enter your Wellington pickup location, the date and time, and the number of hours you need. The system will show you the complete fixed price for each vehicle type before you confirm anything.
Which vehicle should I choose for hourly hire?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to three passengers with three bags, ideal for business meetings around the CBD or appointments in Kelburn or Thorndon. The V-Class takes up to seven passengers and six bags, useful for small group tours to Wairarapa vineyards or the Kapiti Coast. The Sprinter mini-coach handles up to sixteen passengers and sixteen bags.
Is the driver employed by chauffeur.co.nz?
Yes. Every chauffeur is directly employed and trained by us, not an app contractor who can decline or cancel your booking. They’re accountable to our standards and familiar with Wellington’s routes, from the airport through to Petone, Lower Hutt, and out to the Remutaka Hill.
Can I book hourly chauffeur service from Wellington Airport?
Absolutely. Your hourly booking can start at Wellington Airport or any address in the city. The vehicle you reserve—whether sedan, SUV, or mini-coach—is the one that will meet you, and your chauffeur will wait as long as the booking covers.
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.
