Chauffeur.co.nz offers hourly chauffeur service in Christchurch with a single driver who stays with you for the duration you need—whether that's three hours or a full day. You set the itinerary, change plans as you go, and pay a fixed GST-inclusive rate shown in full before you confirm. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ and train ourselves.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Christchurch?
You book a minimum block of time—typically three or four hours—and your chauffeur remains at your disposal for that period. You can direct them to multiple stops around the city, change plans on the fly, or simply have them wait while you attend to business. The rate is fixed when you book, with no meter running and no surprise additions.
Which vehicle should I choose for an hourly booking?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits one or two passengers with standard luggage. If you're travelling with up to four passengers or need more space, the V-Class offers room for four people and four suitcases plus carry-ons. For larger groups—up to ten passengers—the Sprinter mini-coach is available.
Can I use hourly hire for a full day around Christchurch and beyond?
Yes. Many clients book six, eight, or ten hours to cover meetings across the city, a day visiting Akaroa or the wineries of Waipara, or simply to have a driver available throughout a business day in Christchurch. Your chauffeur stays with you for the entire booking, so there's no coordinating multiple pickups.
What's the pricing structure for hourly chauffeur service?
Chauffeur.co.nz shows a single, GST-inclusive price when you enter your date, time, and hours needed on the booking page. There's no surge pricing, no meter, and no hidden fees—the number you see is what you pay. Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book to see the exact rate for your requirement.
Who will be driving during my hourly booking?
You'll have one of our employed chauffeurs—trained by us, accountable to us, and familiar with Christchurch. They're not app contractors who can decline a job or juggle multiple clients. Your chauffeur is assigned to you for the duration of your booking and no one else.
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.
