A personal driver in Christchurch means a chauffeur employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz, not an app contractor working between jobs. Since 2002, we've provided door-to-door service across the city and to Christchurch Airport in Mercedes sedans, V-Class people-movers, and Sprinter mini-coaches — the vehicle you book is the one that arrives, and the price is fixed before you confirm.
What's the difference between a personal driver and a rideshare in Christchurch?
Our chauffeurs are employees we train and hold accountable, not app contractors who can decline your booking or cancel mid-shift. You book a specific vehicle — a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter — and that's what turns up, driven by someone who works for us.
How does pricing work for a personal driver?
You see the full GST-inclusive price before you book — no meter, no surge, no surprises. The number depends on your exact pickup and drop-off, so visit chauffeur.co.nz/book to get your route quoted in seconds.
Can I book a personal driver from Christchurch Airport to Riccarton or Fendalton?
Yes. We cover all Christchurch suburbs — Riccarton, Fendalton, Merivale, Sumner, the central city — as well as airport transfers. The price is calculated door-to-door and shown in full before you confirm.
Which vehicle should I book for my group?
The E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases plus carry-ons, and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten passengers with matching luggage.
Do you operate outside Christchurch?
We serve Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown only. Within Christchurch, we handle any point-to-point journey — airport runs, hotel transfers, or trips across the city — but we stay in our lane as a passenger transport service, not a tour operator.
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.
