Booking a private chauffeur for the day in Wellington means you set the itinerary and the vehicle follows your schedule, whether that's meetings across the CBD, a run out to the Wairarapa, or a full day moving between appointments. chauffeur.co.nz has offered employed chauffeurs and a Mercedes fleet since 2002, with fixed GST-inclusive pricing shown in full before you confirm.
How does day-hire with a chauffeur actually work in Wellington?
You book the vehicle and driver for a set number of hours, then direct them as your day unfolds—waiting between stops, adjusting routes, adding destinations. The chauffeur stays with you for the duration you've reserved, so there's no need to re-book or hail another ride.
What vehicles are available for a full day booking?
chauffeur.co.nz runs three Mercedes options: the E-Class sedan seats up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, the V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases, and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates ten passengers with full luggage. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
Can I use a day-hire chauffeur for trips outside Wellington city?
Yes—many clients book a full day to visit Martinborough wineries, head over the Remutaka Range, or cover a loop that includes the Kapiti Coast. The fixed price covers the time you've reserved, and you'll see the total cost before you confirm.
Are the drivers employed by chauffeur.co.nz or independent contractors?
Every chauffeur is directly employed, trained in-house, and accountable to the company—not an app contractor who can decline or cancel. That means consistency in service and a single point of contact if plans shift during your day.
How do I find out the cost for a day-hire chauffeur in Wellington?
Pricing is fixed and GST-inclusive with no surge or meter, and the full amount is shown on the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you commit. The exact figure depends on the vehicle and hours you need, so the online system will calculate it once you enter your details.
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.
