A luxury driver in Wellington means a chauffeur you can set your watch by—someone employed and trained by us, driving the Mercedes you booked, at the fixed price you saw. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered point-to-point transfers across the capital with no surge pricing, no app uncertainty, and no last-minute vehicle swaps. It's transport you can plan the rest of your day around.

What makes a luxury driver service more reliable than a regular ride?

The chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard, and accountable for every booking—they can't decline the job or arrive in a different vehicle. You'll see a fixed, GST-inclusive price before you confirm, and the Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter you choose is exactly what pulls up.

How does fixed pricing work for trips around Wellington?

You enter your pickup and destination—whether that's Wellington Airport to Thorndon, the Beehive to a Miramar address, or a hotel to a Lower Hutt event—and the full price appears before you book. No meter, no surge during peak times, no surprises at the end.

Which vehicle should I book for an airport transfer with luggage?

The Mercedes E-Class seats two passengers with two large suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons; the Sprinter accommodates up to ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. Visit /cars for the exact specs, then head to /book to see the price for your route.

Can I book a luxury driver for business meetings across Wellington?

Absolutely. Point-to-point transfers between the CBD, Embassy Theatre area, Pipitea, or out to Petone or Porirua work the same way: you book the vehicle, we confirm the chauffeur, and you arrive on time without the distraction of parking or navigation.

Does the same driver cover both Auckland and Wellington?

We operate in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown, but each city has its own team of employed chauffeurs. Your Wellington driver knows the one-way system, the airport layout, and the quickest route to Kelburn or Oriental Bay—local knowledge built over years, not borrowed from a GPS.


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.
