A personal driver in Wellington means an employed chauffeur who arrives in the vehicle you've booked—Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter—trained and accountable to one company, not an app contractor working between ride requests. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided executives and their guests with fixed-price transport across the city, from Thorndon offices to Wellington Airport, with no surge pricing or uncertainty about who will show up.
How is this different from using a rideshare app for executive transport?
The chauffeur is directly employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz, not an independent contractor who can decline your booking or toggle between apps. You book a specific vehicle—Sedan, SUV, or Mini-Coach—and that exact vehicle arrives, with pricing fixed and shown in full before you confirm.
What vehicles are available for executives and their guests in Wellington?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class SUV accommodates four passengers with four suitcases, and the Sprinter Mini-Coach takes up to ten passengers with ten suitcases—all GST-inclusive, booked at a set price with no meter.
Can I arrange regular airport transfers for visiting clients or board members?
Yes. Each booking from Wellington Airport to the city—or from hotels in Te Aro or the waterfront to meetings in Pipitea—is quoted individually at /book, with the same employed-chauffeur model and vehicle guarantee every time.
Is pricing transparent, or will it change based on demand?
Every fare is a fixed, GST-inclusive price shown in full before you book. There is no surge pricing, no meter, and no hidden fees. Head to /book to see the exact figure for your route.
Which cities does this service cover in New Zealand?
Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown only. The same employed-chauffeur model and Mercedes fleet apply across all four locations.
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.
