A private chauffeur in Christchurch means a trained professional driver employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, arriving in the exact Mercedes you reserved — not a contractor who can decline mid-shift or turn up in whatever's available. Since 2002, we've operated door-to-door transfers across the city with fixed, GST-inclusive pricing shown in full before you confirm.
What makes this different from a rideshare?
The driver works for us, not an app — trained, uniformed, and accountable to a single operator. You book a specific Mercedes by class, and that vehicle arrives. There's no surge pricing, no mystery about who's coming, and no contractor deciding your job isn't worth the trip.
Which vehicles can I book in Christchurch?
You choose between a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two large bags, a V-Class for up to four passengers with four bags, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups up to ten. Luggage allowances include carry-ons, and the vehicle you select is the one that meets you.
How does fixed pricing work for point-to-point trips?
You enter your pickup and drop-off — whether that's home in Merivale to Christchurch Airport, a hotel in the central city to Lyttelton, or any other pair of addresses — and the full GST-inclusive fare appears before you book. No meter, no surprises, no peak surcharges. Head to the booking page for your exact route price.
Can I book a chauffeur for a few hours around Christchurch?
Point-to-point transfers are what we do: one pickup address, one destination, door to door. If you need multiple stops or time-based hire, that sits outside this service. For a single journey done properly, this is the straightforward answer.
Do you operate outside Christchurch?
We serve Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown — nowhere else. Within Christchurch, that covers the airport, the city, and surrounding suburbs like Fendalton, Riccarton, Sumner, or further out to Akaroa if that's your destination. The booking system shows availability for your specific route.
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.
