A personal driver in Auckland means a chauffeur employed by us, driving the Mercedes you've booked, at a price fixed before you confirm — no apps, no surprises, no waiting to see who accepts the job. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered the same straightforward model: you book a specific vehicle, we send a trained driver accountable to us, and the rate includes GST with no surge pricing.

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

A personal driver from chauffeur.co.nz is an employee we've trained and hold accountable, not an app contractor who can decline your booking. You also reserve a specific Mercedes — Sedan, V-Class, or Sprinter — and that's the vehicle that arrives, with pricing locked in before you confirm.

Can I book a personal driver for Auckland Airport pickup or drop-off?

Yes. Auckland Airport transfers are a core part of the service, whether you're landing at the international or domestic terminal or heading out from anywhere in the city. The fixed price is shown in full at /book before you commit.

Which Auckland suburbs and destinations do you cover?

We operate throughout Auckland — from the North Shore and city centre out to the eastern beaches, west to Waitakere, and south through Manukau and to the airport. If it's a point-to-point journey within the region, we cover it.

How do I know what the trip will cost?

Every fare is a fixed, GST-inclusive price shown before you book — no meter, no surge, no guessing. We never publish dollar figures on the site, but you'll see the exact amount when you enter your pickup and destination at /book.

What vehicles are available as a personal driver service in Auckland?

You can book 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. The vehicle you select is the one that meets you.


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.
