A personal driver in Auckland through chauffeur.co.nz means exactly that: a professional chauffeur we employ and train, driving the specific Mercedes you've reserved, at a fixed price you see before you commit. No app contractors who might cancel, no surge pricing, no uncertainty about what pulls up at your door—just reliable point-to-point service across the city and to Auckland Airport since 2002.

What's the difference between a personal driver and a rideshare in Auckland?

A rideshare connects you with an app contractor driving their own car, who can decline your trip and whose fare can surge. A chauffeur.co.nz driver is employed and trained by us, accountable to our standards, and your fare is fixed and GST-inclusive before you book—no meter, no surprises.

Which vehicle will I actually get?

The one you book. Choose a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, a V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases, or a Sprinter for groups of up to ten. That's the vehicle that arrives.

Where in Auckland can I be picked up or dropped off?

Anywhere across Auckland—Ponsonby, Parnell, the Viaduct, North Shore suburbs, out to Auckland Airport, or any address in between. Door-to-door means precisely that: your departure point to your destination, with no shared stops.

How much does a personal driver cost in Auckland?

Every trip shows a fixed, GST-inclusive price when you enter your pickup and destination at chauffeur.co.nz/book—no surge pricing, no meter running. The exact figure depends on your route, so check there for the number.

Do I need to book in advance or can I get a driver now?

You can request immediate pickup or book ahead for a specific time. Either way, you'll see the fixed price and confirm the vehicle before a chauffeur is dispatched, so there's no guesswork about cost or what's coming.


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.
