A private driver at your disposal in Auckland means the vehicle and the chauffeur stay with you for the day, moving to your schedule rather than the clock. You might start at Auckland Airport, spend the morning in Parnell, lunch in Ponsonby, then finish with evening appointments in the CBD — the route is entirely yours. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm.
What does 'at your disposal' actually mean for a full day?
The chauffeur and vehicle remain with you from collection to drop-off, waiting between stops rather than leaving and returning. You direct the day's route — whether that's six quick errands across Auckland or three longer visits to Waiheke ferry, the Viaduct and a North Shore address. There's no meter running and no pressure to rush.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day in Auckland?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes four passengers with four suitcases; the Sprinter accommodates ten passengers with ten suitcases. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, and all are maintained to the same standard by chauffeur.co.nz.
How does pricing work when I book a driver for the whole day?
You'll see the complete, GST-inclusive price on the /book page before you confirm — no surge, no meter, no surprises. The fixed rate covers the vehicle, the chauffeur's time, and fuel for the day within Auckland. Head to /book to see the exact figure for your date and vehicle choice.
Is the driver actually employed by the company?
Yes. Every chauffeur is trained and employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, in service since 2002, so they're accountable to the company rather than working as app contractors who can decline jobs. That consistency matters when you're relying on someone for an entire day around Auckland.
Can I change plans once the day has started?
Within reason, yes — if you decide to add a stop in Newmarket or swap an afternoon meeting in Remuera for one at the airport, simply tell your chauffeur. The day is structured around your needs, not a rigid manifest, though major route extensions may need confirming with the office.
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.
