When you're running back-to-back meetings across Christchurch, a private chauffeur gives you a mobile base—the same vehicle and driver stay with you all day, eliminating the gaps between appointments. You step out at one address, finish your meeting, and step back into the same car without hailing, waiting, or explaining your route again.

How does a private chauffeur differ from booking separate rides?

With a private chauffeur, the same driver and vehicle remain at your disposal for the hours or full day you've booked—parked nearby or circling while you're inside. You're not requesting a new car after each meeting, so there's no risk of surge pricing, availability gaps, or a different driver misunderstanding your next destination.

Which vehicle works best for a full day of Christchurch meetings?

If you're travelling solo or with one colleague, the Mercedes E-Class sedan handles two passengers and two suitcases plus carry-ons. A team of four with presentation materials fits the V-Class, which takes four passengers and four suitcases. Both give you table space and privacy between stops.

Can the driver wait between appointments in Riccarton or the CBD?

Yes. Your chauffeur stays with the vehicle during your meetings—parked legally near the building or doing a short loop if kerbside standing isn't allowed. You agree the pickup spot by text, so you're not searching for a new car on Cashel Street or Riccarton Road after every session.

What if my meeting runs over or finishes early?

Tell your chauffeur. Because you've booked the vehicle and driver for a block of time rather than fixed rides, a fifteen-minute overrun or early finish simply shifts the rest of your schedule. There's no cancellation fee for a meeting you skip, and no new fare if the previous one drags.

How do I get a fixed price for a full day in Christchurch?

Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your start time, end time, and any specific stops—Christchurch Airport, Addington, Fendalton, wherever your diary takes you—and you'll see the total GST-inclusive price before you confirm. No meter, no surge, no surprises when the day ends.


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.
