A private chauffeur in Wellington for the day means the vehicle and driver are yours from collection to drop-off, running to your schedule rather than a fixed itinerary. You choose the Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter when you book, that's what arrives, and your chauffeur—employed and trained by us since 2002—waits between stops, adjusts timing as your plans shift, and moves at your pace across the city and region.
How does pricing work for a full day with a chauffeur in Wellington?
You pay a single fixed price, GST-inclusive, with no meter and no surge. The exact figure is shown in full on the /book page before you confirm, so there's no guesswork or variability on the day.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day around Wellington?
The Mercedes E-Class seats up to two passengers with two large bags and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. The Sprinter accommodates up to ten passengers with ten large bags and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the one that turns up.
Can I change the itinerary during the day?
Yes. Your chauffeur adjusts to your timing—whether you finish early at a Martinborough vineyard, add a stop in Petone, or decide to extend time along the south coast. The day unfolds as you need it to, not according to a rigid schedule.
Who actually drives—an app contractor or an employee?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained by us and accountable to us. There's no gig-economy layer where a driver can decline the booking or arrive in an unvetted vehicle.
What sort of day trips make sense from Wellington with a private chauffeur?
Wairarapa wine country, the Remutaka Hill route to Martinborough, coastal runs to Cape Palliser, or simply moving between meetings, the airport, and hotels across the CBD, Miramar or Lower Hutt without the juggle of parking or multiple ride-hail bookings.
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.
