An hourly private driver in Auckland gives you a dedicated chauffeur and vehicle for your own itinerary — whether that's half a day or your entire stay. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided as-directed service with employed drivers who stay with you for the duration you book, moving at your pace across the city and beyond.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Auckland?
You book a minimum block of time — typically three or four hours — and your chauffeur remains at your disposal for that period, waiting between stops and driving wherever you direct within the Auckland region. You're shown a fixed, GST-inclusive price before you confirm, with no meter and no surge.
Which vehicle should I book for hourly hire?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags, the V-Class takes up to four passengers with four bags, and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten passengers with ten bags. The vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives, and all three are part of the employed fleet.
Can the driver wait while I attend meetings or appointments in Auckland?
Yes — that's the purpose of hourly hire. Your chauffeur waits at each stop, whether you're visiting a office in the Viaduct, spending time in Parnell, or attending an appointment in Albany, then continues when you're ready.
Does hourly chauffeur service cover trips outside central Auckland?
Your driver can take you anywhere reasonable within the time you've booked — north to Orewa or the Matakana region, west to Piha, south to Pukekohe, or out to Auckland Airport if that's part of your itinerary. The fixed price covers the vehicle and driver for the duration, not distance.
Where do I see the exact price for hourly hire?
Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup location, select 'Hourly' as the service type, choose your vehicle and the number of hours you need, and the full GST-inclusive price appears before you commit.
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.
