When you need a personal driver in Auckland by the hour, chauffeur.co.nz assigns you a trained, employed chauffeur in a Mercedes—not an app contractor who might cancel. Your fixed, GST-inclusive rate is shown in full before you book, with no surge pricing or meter ticking in the background, and the vehicle you reserve is guaranteed to arrive.
How does hourly chauffeur service work in Auckland?
You book a set number of hours through chauffeur.co.nz, receive a fixed GST-inclusive price up front, and your chauffeur waits with the vehicle for the duration—whether you're moving between Ponsonby, Parnell and the Viaduct or holding at each stop. The clock starts when your chauffeur arrives at your first pickup and runs continuously until your booking window ends.
What vehicles are available for hourly hire?
You choose between a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers, a V-Class for up to four, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten. Each vehicle comes with corresponding luggage capacity, and the model you book is the one that shows up—no last-minute substitutions.
Are the drivers actually on time?
Chauffeur.co.nz employs its chauffeurs directly and has done since 2002, so they're trained in punctuality and accountable to the company rather than working as independent app contractors. For hourly bookings that means your driver is positioned and ready at the agreed start time, not hunting for a closer fare.
Can I use an hourly driver for Auckland Airport runs and errands in one booking?
Yes—hourly hire suits itineraries that mix an airport pickup with stops in Newmarket, meetings in the CBD, or any combination across Auckland. You control the route and timing within your booked window, and your chauffeur handles the driving and waiting without a meter running.
How do I see the cost before committing?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup location, date, hours needed and passenger count, and the system shows your complete fixed price including GST. No surge multipliers apply, and the number you see is the number you pay.
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.
