A personal driver for touring Wellington means a chauffeur employed and trained by us, driving the Mercedes you've booked — Sedan, SUV or Mini-Coach — at a fixed price agreed before you confirm. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided point-to-point and half- or full-day touring across the capital without meters, surge pricing or the uncertainty of app contractors.
What does a personal driver for touring Wellington actually include?
You book the vehicle and duration you need — whether it's a half-day loop through the Wairarapa vineyards, a full day out to the Remutaka Incline or Martinborough, or city sightseeing taking in Mount Victoria, the waterfront and Zealandia. The chauffeur waits while you explore, and the price is fixed before you book.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day of touring?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits two passengers with light luggage. The V-Class SUV carries up to four passengers comfortably with room for personal items. For groups up to ten, the Sprinter Mini-Coach ensures everyone travels together, and whichever you book is the vehicle that arrives.
Can the driver suggest an itinerary or do I need my own plan?
You're welcome to bring a fixed itinerary or discuss options with your chauffeur on the day. Our drivers know the region — from Kapiti Coast beaches to Palliser Bay and the hills behind Kelburn — and can adapt to weather, timing or a change of heart as the day unfolds.
How is pricing structured for a touring day in Wellington?
Every booking is a single, GST-inclusive fixed price with no meter and no surge. The quote you see at /book reflects the vehicle, duration and route; there are no hidden extras, and you'll know the full cost before you confirm.
Does the service cover pickups from Wellington Airport for a touring day?
Yes. Your chauffeur meets you in the domestic or international arrivals hall, helps with luggage, and begins your tour from there — whether that's straight to a Martinborough cellar door or a scenic drive along the south coast to begin your day.
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.
