A chauffeur.co.nz Mercedes E-Class comfortably holds three passengers and three large suitcases, our V-Class accommodates six bags for up to seven travellers, and the Sprinter takes sixteen passengers with sixteen pieces of luggage. Each vehicle is purpose-chosen for Wellington Airport transfers, with dedicated boot space that handles standard check-in baggage without compromise. The vehicle you book is what arrives at your Miramar pick-up.
What counts as a bag for Wellington Airport transfers?
We count each piece of check-in sized luggage — your typical 23kg suitcase — as one bag. Carry-on items, laptop bags, and handbags travel in the cabin and don’t count toward your luggage allowance, so a family of three with three large suitcases plus hand luggage fits comfortably in the Sedan.
What if I’m travelling from Wellington to the Hutt Valley with extra luggage?
If you have more bags than passengers — say, two people with four suitcases heading to Lower Hutt or Petone — book the V-Class. It gives you six bag spaces even when you’re only using two seats, and the fixed price you see at booking covers the entire journey with no surcharge for the extra luggage capacity.
Can I bring ski gear or golf clubs on a Queenstown-bound flight transfer?
Yes. Skis, snowboards, and golf bags count as one piece each toward your vehicle’s luggage limit. If you’re a group of three heading to Wellington Airport with three suitcases plus three sets of skis, the V-Class is the right choice — it handles bulky sporting equipment without folding seats or cramming bags on laps.
Do I need to tell the chauffeur about my luggage in advance?
As long as your luggage fits within the vehicle capacity you’ve booked, no advance notice is needed. Our chauffeurs are employed and trained by us, and they arrive prepared for the baggage allowance of the vehicle class. If you’re uncertain whether you need the Sedan or V-Class for a Thorndon or Kelburn pick-up, the luggage count at /book will guide you clearly.
What happens if I have one extra bag on the day?
If you’ve booked an E-Class but arrive with four bags instead of three, it won’t fit safely. We recommend choosing your vehicle based on your actual luggage count to avoid delays at Wellington Airport — the vehicle you book is the one that meets you at the terminal, so selecting the right capacity from the start keeps your Lyall Bay or Kilbirnie departure on schedule.
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.
