Hiring a driver in New Zealand comes down to choosing a service that shows you the full price before you commit, guarantees the vehicle you've selected, and sends an employed chauffeur—not a contractor who might cancel. The entire booking process should be transparent from the outset, with no surprises when the car arrives.
What's the actual process to hire a driver?
Enter your pickup and drop-off details online, select the vehicle that suits your group size and luggage, then review the fixed, GST-inclusive price. Once you confirm, the booking is locked in and the chauffeur you've hired is assigned to your trip.
How do I know the price won't change after I book?
The price shown before you confirm is the final amount—no surge pricing, no meter running, no add-ons. It includes GST and covers the entire journey, whether you're travelling within Auckland, between Queenstown Airport and Arrowtown, or across Wellington.
What if I'm looking for a car driver for a larger group?
Vehicle capacity is spelled out at the booking stage: the Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases, the SUV takes four passengers with four suitcases, and the Mini-Coach accommodates ten passengers with ten suitcases plus carry-ons. You'll know immediately whether the vehicle fits your party.
Will the driver I hire actually show up, or can they decline the job?
Every chauffeur is directly employed, trained in-house, and accountable to the company—they don't use an app to accept or decline work. The driver assigned to your booking will be there, and the vehicle type you selected is the one that arrives.
Where can I hire a driver this way in New Zealand?
This booking model operates anywhere in New Zealand. Coverage is available nationwide, so trips starting or ending anywhere are available through the platform.
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.
