Booking a personal driver for the day in Queenstown means a chauffeur and vehicle dedicated entirely to your itinerary, whether that's wine country, Glenorchy, Arrowtown or wherever the day takes you. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided by-the-day service with Mercedes E-Class sedans, V-Class SUVs or Sprinter mini-coaches — the vehicle you book is what arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ and train ourselves.
How does pricing work for a full day with a driver in Queenstown?
You pay a single fixed price that includes GST and covers the full day — no meter running, no surge, no surprises. The exact figure is shown in full before you confirm on the /book page, so you know the total before committing.
What vehicles are available for a day hire in Queenstown?
You can book a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, a V-Class SUV for up to four passengers with four suitcases, or a Sprinter mini-coach for up to ten passengers. Each vehicle is exactly what turns up on the day.
Can I change the itinerary during the day or is it locked in?
Your chauffeur works to your schedule for the day, so if you decide to add a stop in Arrowtown, linger longer at a cellar door in Gibbston, or detour to Lake Hayes, the day adapts around you. It's your time, your route.
Does the driver stay with the vehicle all day or drop me off?
Your chauffeur remains with the vehicle for the duration of your booking, so whether you're spending an hour at a winery, walking the Queenstown Gardens, or meeting someone for lunch, the car and driver are there when you're ready to move on.
Who will be driving — an employee or an app contractor?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house and accountable to the company. No contractors who can decline the job, no rideshare drivers — just someone we've put through our own standards and who answers to us.
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.
