Booking a personal driver for the day in Auckland means you set the itinerary and your chauffeur handles the rest—whether that's a full morning in Parnell, afternoon meetings across the CBD, or a coastal route out to Piha. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered day hire with employed drivers, a Mercedes fleet, and a fixed GST-inclusive price agreed before you confirm.
How does day hire work with a personal driver in Auckland?
You book the hours you need—typically a half or full day—and your chauffeur remains at your disposal throughout. You decide the stops, the timing, and any changes on the fly; the driver waits while you attend appointments, shop, or dine, then continues when you're ready.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day in Auckland?
The Mercedes E-Class seats up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases; the Sprinter accommodates up to ten. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, so choose by passenger count and luggage.
What does the fixed price cover for a full day?
The price includes the chauffeur's time, the vehicle, GST, and all standard travel within Auckland—no meter, no surge. You'll see the total cost on the /book page before you confirm; it doesn't change once agreed.
Can I book a personal driver for errands and sightseeing in the same day?
Yes. Day hire is entirely flexible: combine a morning run to Auckland Airport, a stop in Newmarket, lunch in Ponsonby, and an evening pickup from the Viaduct. Your chauffeur adapts to whatever the day requires.
Who will be driving?
You'll have a chauffeur employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz—not an app contractor. They're accountable to us, know Auckland well, and won't decline the booking once it's confirmed.
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.
