A personal driver for your Christchurch transfers means a Mercedes sedan, SUV or mini-coach you book by name, driven by a chauffeur we employ and train—not an app contractor who might cancel. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered fixed, GST-inclusive pricing with no surge and no meter, so you see the full cost before you confirm.
What does a personal driver service cover in Christchurch?
Point-to-point transfers across the city and to Christchurch Airport—Riccarton to the terminal, Merivale to a CBD hotel, Sumner to Hagley Park. The chauffeur you book handles your route, your luggage and your timing; you're not sharing the vehicle or the schedule.
Which vehicles can I book?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan seats two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class SUV takes four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons; the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives.
How does fixed pricing work for these transfers?
You enter your pick-up and drop-off addresses on the /book page and see the complete GST-inclusive price before you commit—no meter running, no surge multiplier, no hidden clips. That number holds regardless of traffic between Fendalton and the airport or a detour through Sydenham.
Who will be driving?
A chauffeur employed and trained by us, accountable to our standards and available for the job you've booked. We don't dispatch app contractors who can decline at the last minute or toggle availability.
Can I book a personal driver for travel outside Christchurch?
chauffeur.co.nz operates only in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, so trips within those four cities are covered. Longer inter-city routes fall outside our service lane.
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.
