A private driver in Auckland means a trained chauffeur employed by chauffeur.co.nz — not a rideshare contractor working an app. Since 2002, we've run point-to-point transfers across the city with fixed pricing shown in full before you confirm, no surge, no meter. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
What's the difference between a private driver and an Uber in Auckland?
A private driver is a chauffeur we employ, train and hold accountable — not an app contractor who can decline your booking. You'll know the fixed price upfront, with no surge pricing, and the vehicle is guaranteed: book the Mercedes E-Class sedan and that's what meets you.
Which vehicles can I book for a private driver trip?
Choose the Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, the V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons, or the Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten. Every booking locks in the specific vehicle — no substitutions.
Can I use this service from the airport to the city or between Auckland suburbs?
Yes — door-to-door transfers cover Auckland Airport pickups, city-to-airport runs, and point-to-point trips across suburbs like Parnell, Ponsonby, Remuera or the North Shore. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive no matter the time of day.
How do I see the price for my Auckland trip?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup and drop-off addresses, and the full fixed price appears before you confirm — GST included, no surprises. We never quote dollar figures elsewhere; the booking page gives you the exact number for your route.
Does chauffeur.co.nz operate outside Auckland?
We serve Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown only. The same model — employed chauffeurs, fixed pricing, guaranteed vehicles — runs in all four cities, but we don't operate beyond them.
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.
