Yes — when you book through chauffeur.co.nz, your driver is assigned before you land and waits at the kerbside arrivals door with your name. You walk straight from baggage claim to a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter, depending on your party size, and the vehicle you reserved is the one that turns up. No app hunting, no surge pricing, no wondering whether someone will accept the job.
How does kerbside pickup work at Christchurch Airport?
Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and positions at the domestic or international arrivals kerb as you clear customs or collect bags. They hold a name card and help with luggage immediately — you're on your way within minutes of stepping outside.
What if my flight is delayed or early?
The driver adjusts automatically because we monitor live arrival data. You pay the same fixed, GST-inclusive price regardless of when the plane actually touches down — no waiting fees, no surprises.
Which vehicle should I book for airport pickup?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large suitcases and two carry-ons. If you're travelling with family or colleagues, the V-Class takes four people and four checked bags, while the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten passengers with full luggage.
Can I book a return trip to the airport later in my stay?
Absolutely. Reserve both legs when you book, or add the return journey separately — same fixed pricing, same chauffeur standard. Many clients heading to Sumner, Merivale or the central city book the round trip in one session for simplicity.
Who actually drives — is it a rideshare contractor?
No. Every chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard and accountable for every pickup. We've operated since 2002, and our drivers know Christchurch thoroughly — from the airport to Fendalton, Riccarton and beyond.
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.
