A personal driver at Christchurch Airport means someone waiting in arrivals with your name, handling your bags, and working to your schedule—not the other way around. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided employed chauffeurs who meet you inside the terminal, adapt to delays without fuss, and drive the Mercedes you actually booked. Your itinerary dictates the day, whether that's straight to Fendalton or a stop in Merivale en route.
Where exactly does the driver meet me at Christchurch Airport?
Your chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall with a name board, positioned where you'll see them as soon as you clear customs. If your flight's delayed or you need extra time at baggage claim, they track the arrival and adjust—no frantic texts required.
What if I need to make a stop between the airport and my hotel?
Your booking is yours to direct. Whether it's a pharmacy in Riccarton, a quick detour past Hagley Park, or collecting someone in Sumner, the chauffeur follows your itinerary. The fixed price you see at booking covers the route, so there's no meter ticking while you duck inside.
Which vehicle should I book for a family of four with luggage?
The Mercedes V-Class carries up to four passengers with four full suitcases and four carry-ons—enough for most families returning from a fortnight away. If you're travelling lighter or it's just two of you, the E-Class sedan handles two suitcases and two carry-ons comfortably. The vehicle you book is the one that pulls up.
How does pricing work for a personal driver service?
You'll see a single, GST-inclusive fixed price before you confirm—no surge windows, no hidden fees, no meter. Head to the booking page to enter your pickup time and destination for the exact figure. That number holds regardless of traffic on Memorial Avenue or an unscheduled stop.
Are the drivers actual employees or app contractors?
Every chauffeur is employed and trained directly by chauffeur.co.nz, which means accountability sits with us, not a shifting pool of gig workers who can decline your job. They know Christchurch, they're in uniform, and they answer to one standard.
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.
