An hourly personal driver in Queenstown means one chauffeur stays with you for as long as you need — two hours, six, or the full day — waiting between stops and moving at your pace. The chauffeur is employed and trained by us, the vehicle you book (Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter) is the one that arrives, and the price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm.
How does as-directed chauffeur hire work in Queenstown?
You book a chauffeur for a minimum block of time, and they stay with you for the duration — whether you're moving between Arrowtown, the wineries around Gibbston, and your hotel, or spending the afternoon shopping in Queenstown and waiting while you're inside. The driver remains on hand, so there's no need to schedule separate pickups or worry about availability.
What size vehicle do I need for hourly hire?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. For groups up to ten, the Sprinter mini-coach carries ten passengers and ten large bags plus ten smaller pieces.
Can the chauffeur wait while I'm at a winery or restaurant?
Yes. Hourly hire includes waiting time — the chauffeur remains with the vehicle for the duration you've booked, so you're not watching the clock at Amisfield or Chard Farm. You set the pace.
How do I see the price for a full day with a driver in Queenstown?
Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter Queenstown, select hourly hire, choose your vehicle and the number of hours. The fixed, GST-inclusive price — no surge, no meter — appears in full before you commit.
Does the same driver stay with me if I book multiple days?
Where operationally possible, yes — we aim to assign the same chauffeur across consecutive bookings so you're not re-explaining your preferences each morning. Confirm your schedule when you book and we'll do our best to keep continuity.
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.
