A personal driver for the full day in Queenstown means a chauffeur employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz, assigned to you from morning until evening with the Mercedes you've chosen. Since 2002, we've provided discreet, professional drivers who stay with your schedule—whether that's Gibbston wineries, Glenorchy, Arrowtown, or simply being ready when you need them. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive, shown in full at /book before you confirm.

What does a full-day personal driver in Queenstown actually include?

You have a chauffeur and vehicle dedicated to you for the day—typically eight to ten hours, though longer arrangements can be made. The driver waits while you're at appointments, lunches, or cellar doors, and moves with your itinerary rather than dropping you and leaving.

Which vehicle should I book for a full day in Queenstown?

The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. For up to four passengers the V-Class works well, and the Sprinter mini-coach handles up to ten. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.

Can the driver take me out to Glenorchy or Gibbston for the day?

Yes. A full-day booking covers regional driving—Glenorchy, Arrowtown, the Gibbston wine trail, Cromwell, or any combination that fits your schedule. Your chauffeur knows the roads and timing, and stays discreet while you're at each stop.

How does pricing work for a full day with a personal driver?

It's a single fixed price, GST-inclusive, with no meter and no surge. You see the exact total at /book before you commit. The rate reflects the hours, vehicle type, and any distance, but there are no surprises once you've confirmed.

Is the driver employed by chauffeur.co.nz or a contractor?

Every chauffeur is employed and trained by us, not an app contractor who can decline the trip. That accountability matters over a full day—your driver is prepared, discreet, and answerable to the same team you booked with.


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.
