A private chauffeur in Wellington means a dedicated professional driver employed by chauffeur.co.nz, arriving in the Mercedes you booked—not an app contractor who might cancel or send a substitute. Since 2002, we've handled point-to-point transfers across the capital with fixed, no-surge pricing and drivers trained to our standard, not an algorithm's.
What's the difference between a private chauffeur and a rideshare in Wellington?
Our chauffeurs are directly employed, trained, and accountable to us—they don't decline jobs or juggle multiple apps. You book a specific Mercedes (E-Class Sedan, V-Class, or Sprinter), that exact vehicle arrives, and the price is fixed before you confirm, with no surge pricing or meter running.

Do chauffeur.co.nz drivers work in all of New Zealand?
