A full-day private chauffeur in Christchurch means a Mercedes and a professionally trained driver at your disposal from morning through evening, moving at your pace without a meter running. The chauffeur stays with the vehicle, waits between appointments, and adjusts the schedule as your day unfolds. You pay one fixed, GST-inclusive price set before you confirm.

What does a full-day hire actually include?

The vehicle and chauffeur remain assigned to you for the day—typically eight to ten hours—covering multiple stops across Christchurch, from the central city out to Lyttelton, Sumner, or the Port Hills. The driver waits during meetings, appointments, or site visits, so there's no need to coordinate separate pickups.

Which vehicle should I book for the day?

The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits one or two passengers with light luggage; the V-Class handles up to four passengers with room for four suitcases and four carry-ons; and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates groups of up to ten. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.

How does pricing work for a full day?

You'll see the complete, GST-inclusive price before you confirm the booking—no surge, no meter, no surprises at the end of the day. Head to the booking page to enter your date and itinerary for the exact figure.

Who will be driving?

A chauffeur employed and trained by us, not an app contractor. They're accountable to the company, know Christchurch well, and won't decline the job or hand it off.

Can the itinerary change during the day?

Yes. Let the chauffeur know if a meeting runs over, if you want to add a stop in Merivale or Ferrymead, or if plans shift. The fixed price and dedicated vehicle give you that flexibility without renegotiation.


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.
