A private chauffeur in Christchurch means a single vehicle, a single driver employed by us, and a single fixed price shown before you confirm. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered point-to-point transfers across the city — airport runs, meetings in the CBD, or out to Akaroa — without meters, surge windows, or the uncertainty of an app dispatcher hoping someone accepts your trip.
What does 'private chauffeur' actually mean in Christchurch?
It means the Mercedes you book is the one that arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ and train — not a contractor who can decline the job. You're not sharing the vehicle, and there's no detour to collect other passengers.
How does fixed pricing work for a Christchurch transfer?
You enter your pickup — say, Merivale or Christchurch Airport — and your destination, and the full GST-inclusive price appears before you book. No meter runs during traffic on Bealey Avenue, no surge if your flight lands at peak hour. Head to /book for the exact figure for your route.
Which vehicle should I choose for a run from the airport to Sumner?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. If you're a family of four or have more luggage, the V-Class handles four passengers and four full cases. The Sprinter mini-coach scales to ten people and ten cases.
Can I rely on the same driver and vehicle I booked?
Yes. The vehicle class you select is the one that collects you, and your chauffeur is employed directly by us — trained to our standard and accountable for every pickup. No algorithm, no last-minute substitution, no freelancer declining at short notice.
Does chauffeur.co.nz cover trips outside central Christchurch?
Absolutely. We handle point-to-point transfers across Christchurch and beyond — the airport, Lyttelton, Akaroa, or a winery run to Waipara. If you need service in Auckland, Wellington or Queenstown, the same model applies in each city.
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.
