Our Mercedes E-Class sedan accommodates up to three large suitcases, the V-Class holds six bags for larger groups, and the Sprinter mini-coach carries up to sixteen pieces of luggage. Each vehicle’s capacity matches the passenger count, so a party of three with three bags fits comfortably in the sedan, while families or groups needing more space should book the V-Class or Sprinter accordingly.
What counts as a bag for luggage limits?
We count standard check-in suitcases, golf bags, and large sports equipment as full pieces. Carry-on bags, laptop cases, and handbags don’t count toward your limit. If you’re travelling with unusual items like surfboards or multiple ski bags, mention them when booking so we can confirm the right vehicle.
Can I bring extra bags if there are fewer passengers?
Yes, the unused passenger space can accommodate additional luggage within reason. A solo traveller in the E-Class could bring more than three bags if they fit safely, and the V-Class works well for smaller groups with extra gear heading to Waiheke or the Coromandel. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives, so choose based on your total load.
What if I’m arriving at Auckland Airport with oversized luggage?
Let us know during booking if you’re carrying items like strollers, car seats, or oversized sports equipment. Our chauffeurs—employed and trained by us since 2002—will confirm everything fits before your pickup. The V-Class and Sprinter both offer significantly more cargo flexibility than the sedan for bulky items.
Do I pay more for additional luggage?
No. Our pricing is fixed and GST-inclusive with no surge charges or meters, and it covers the vehicle capacity you book. Whether you bring one bag or fill the boot entirely, the price shown at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you confirm is what you pay.
Which vehicle should I book for a family of four with four large suitcases?
Book the V-Class. While four passengers could technically squeeze into the E-Class, four large bags won’t fit comfortably alongside everyone. The V-Class seats up to seven and holds six bags properly, giving your family breathing room for the drive into Auckland city or out to the North Shore without luggage jammed against knees.
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.
