A private luxury driver for touring from Christchurch means a Mercedes at your disposal, a chauffeur employed and trained by us, and a fixed price agreed before you leave. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered exactly that: the vehicle you book is the one that arrives, whether you're heading to Akaroa, the vineyards of Waipara, or the high country.

You can book a Mercedes E-Class Sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, a V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons, or a Sprinter Mini-Coach for groups of up to ten with matching luggage capacity.
How is pricing structured for a full-day tour from Christchurch?
All pricing is fixed and GST-inclusive, with no meters or surge charges. The full cost is shown before you confirm your booking at /book, so you know exactly what you'll pay before you commit.
Who will be driving during my tour?
Your driver is a chauffeur we employ directly — trained by us and accountable to us. They're not app contractors who can decline a job, so the service standard is consistent and reliable.
Can I tour destinations like Akaroa or Kaikōura with a private driver?
Yes. Whether you're planning a day on the Banks Peninsula, a visit to Waipara wine country, or a coastal drive to Kaikōura, a private chauffeur handles the route while you focus on the scenery. The vehicle you book is guaranteed to arrive.
Do I book the driver by the hour or by the trip?
Each booking is priced as a complete trip based on your itinerary and time requirements. Visit /book to enter your details and see the fixed, all-inclusive price for your specific tour.
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.
