A full-day luxury driver in Queenstown means a chauffeur employed and trained by us, arriving in the Mercedes you've chosen, working to your itinerary from morning until evening. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, with no meter and no surge regardless of how your day unfolds. We've provided this service since 2002 in Queenstown, Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

What does a full day booking actually include?

You have the vehicle and chauffeur at your disposal for the day, typically eight to ten hours, moving between appointments, wineries, restaurants or sightseeing stops as your schedule requires. The chauffeur waits discreetly while you're at each location, so there's no need to coordinate multiple pick-ups or explain your plans to a different driver each time.

Which vehicle should I book for a day in Queenstown?

The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes four passengers with four large bags; the Sprinter accommodates up to ten. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, so choose based on your group size and luggage for the day.

Can the itinerary change during the day?

Yes. Your chauffeur adjusts to changes as they happen—an extra stop in Arrowtown, a longer lunch at a Gibbston Valley cellar door, or a detour to the Kawarau Bridge. The fixed day rate already accounts for flexibility, so there's no recalculation or surprise charges when plans shift.

How do I get the price for a full day?

Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your date and the hours you need, and the full GST-inclusive price appears before you confirm. There's no surge pricing and no meter—the number you see is what you pay, whether your day involves back-to-back meetings or a leisurely winery circuit around Gibbston.

Are your drivers actually employed chauffeurs or app contractors?

Every chauffeur is employed by us, trained to our standard, and accountable to us—not an app contractor who can decline the job or arrive in an unknown vehicle. You'll have the same professional throughout the day, familiar with Queenstown Airport, Frankton, and the roads out to Glenorchy or the Remarkables.


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.
