A personal driver at Auckland Airport means you're met inside the terminal by name, your flight's tracked from wheels-up, and you leave when you're ready — not when a meter starts running. chauffeur.co.nz has operated this way since 2002: the Mercedes, Sprinter or V-Class you book is the one waiting, driven by a chauffeur we've trained and employ directly, with a fixed GST-inclusive price locked in before you confirm.

Where exactly does the driver meet me at Auckland Airport?

Your chauffeur meets you inside the arrivals hall, holding a name board. They track your flight in real time, so whether you're early into the domestic terminal or delayed on an international arrival, they adjust without you needing to call or text.

What if my flight's delayed or I'm held up at customs?

Flight tracking is automatic, and your chauffeur waits. There's no meter ticking and no surcharge for delays — the price you see when you book on /book covers the actual pickup time, not the scheduled one.

Can I add a stop in Newmarket or Parnell on the way home?

Yes — add waypoints when you book. Whether it's a grocery stop in Remuera or dropping a colleague in the CBD before heading out to the North Shore, the system prices the whole route upfront with no surprises.

Which vehicle if I'm travelling with my family and ski gear?

The V-Class takes four passengers plus four large bags and four carry-ons — enough for a family with sports equipment or a Queenstown ski trip's worth of luggage. For couples or solo travellers with standard bags, the E-Class Sedan works well; ten passengers need the Sprinter.

How is this different from an Uber or taxi at the airport?

You're met by a chauffeur we employ and train, not an app contractor who can decline the job. The vehicle is guaranteed — book the E-Class and an E-Class arrives — and the price is fixed before you confirm, with no surge pricing at peak times or when flights stack up.


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.
