An hourly chauffeur in Wellington means a single driver and vehicle dedicated to you for as long as you need—whether that's three hours or a full day. You direct the itinerary, we handle the logistics. The chauffeur.co.nz has offered this service since 2002, with employed drivers (not app contractors) and a fixed, GST-inclusive rate shown in full before you confirm.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Wellington?
You book a vehicle and driver for a set number of hours, and they remain at your disposal for that period. You decide the route and stops—meetings in Pipitea, lunch on the waterfront, a run out to Wairarapa vineyards—and the chauffeur waits or circles as needed. The rate is fixed and includes GST, with no surge pricing or meter.
Which vehicle should I choose for hourly hire?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class handles up to four passengers with four suitcases, and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten passengers with ten suitcases. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
Can the driver wait between appointments in Wellington?
Yes. Hourly hire is built for exactly this—your chauffeur waits while you attend a meeting in the CBD, visit a client in Lower Hutt, or take a working lunch in Oriental Bay. The clock runs continuously, so there's no need to book separate legs or coordinate multiple pickups.
Is this suitable for a full day of site visits around Wellington?
Absolutely. Many clients book hourly service to cover a full day of property inspections, stakeholder meetings across the region, or personal errands from the airport to Johnsonville to the Hutt Valley. One driver, one vehicle, your entire itinerary—without the inefficiency of taxis or ride-shares between stops.
