A personal driver in Queenstown means a trained chauffeur employed by chauffeur.co.nz—not a gig-economy app driver who can cancel mid-shift. Since 2002, we've handled door-to-door transfers across Queenstown with a fleet of Mercedes E-Class sedans, V-Class people movers, and Sprinter mini-coaches, each driven by professionals we train and hold accountable.

What's the difference between a personal driver and a rideshare in Queenstown?

A personal driver is an employed chauffeur—trained, uniformed, and accountable to one company. Rideshare connects you with independent contractors who can decline or cancel jobs. When you book chauffeur.co.nz, the vehicle and driver are guaranteed; no surge pricing, no last-minute drops.

Can I book a personal driver from Queenstown Airport to Arrowtown or Frankton?

Yes. We handle point-to-point transfers throughout Queenstown, including arrivals from Queenstown Airport to Arrowtown, Frankton, Fernhill, or any address in the district. You'll see a fixed, GST-inclusive price at /book before you confirm—no meter, no surprises.

What vehicles do you use for door-to-door transfers in Queenstown?

We run Mercedes E-Class sedans for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, V-Class people movers for up to four passengers with four suitcases, and Sprinter mini-coaches for groups of up to ten. The vehicle you reserve is the one that meets you.

How do I get the price for a personal driver trip in Queenstown?

Head to /book, enter your pickup and drop-off addresses, and the fixed, GST-inclusive price appears before you pay. There's no surge, no ticking meter—just one transparent number that covers the entire journey.

Do your chauffeurs work exclusively for chauffeur.co.nz?

Yes. Every driver is employed and trained by us, not sourced through a third-party app. That means accountability, consistency, and no risk of a contractor declining your booking because a better fare appeared.


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.
