A personal driver for touring from Queenstown means a chauffeur employed and trained by us, driving the Mercedes you've booked—whether that's a two-hour wine run to Gibbston or a full-day circuit to Glenorchy and back. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered fixed, GST-inclusive pricing with no surge and no surprises, so you know the cost before you confirm.
What kind of vehicle will I get for a day of touring around Queenstown?
You choose between a Mercedes E-Class Sedan (up to 2 passengers, 2 suitcases plus 2 carry-ons), a V-Class (up to 4 passengers, 4 suitcases plus 4 carry-ons), or a Sprinter mini-coach (up to 10 passengers, 10 suitcases plus 10 carry-ons). The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
How does pricing work for a full day with a personal driver?
You'll see a fixed, GST-inclusive price in full before you book—no meter, no surge, no hidden fees. The exact figure depends on your itinerary and vehicle choice; visit chauffeur.co.nz/book to see the number for your tour.
Can the driver take me out to Glenorchy or the wineries in Gibbston Valley?
Yes. Your chauffeur can take you anywhere accessible by road from Queenstown—Glenorchy, Arrowtown, the Gibbston wine trail, Coronet Peak, or further afield to Wānaka if that's your plan. The route is yours to decide.
Who will be driving—an app contractor or an actual employee?
Every driver is a chauffeur we employ directly, trained by us and accountable to us. You won't be matched with an app contractor who can decline the booking or arrive in an unmarked car.
Does this service operate from Queenstown Airport as well?
Yes. Whether you're starting your tour from Queenstown Airport, your hotel, or a private address in Queenstown, the same vehicles and chauffeurs are available across the region.
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.
