A private driver at Christchurch Airport means you're met in the arrivals hall, helped with luggage, and on the road within minutes—no queues, no waiting for a taxi, and entirely on your timetable. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided fixed-price transfers with employed chauffeurs who know the city and answer to one standard: ours.

How does the meet-and-greet work at Christchurch Airport?

Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and waits inside the domestic or international arrivals area with your name. They'll assist with luggage and lead you straight to your vehicle in the car park—no hunting for a taxi rank or ride-share zone.

Can I add stops between the airport and my final destination?

Yes. When you book online, you can specify stops in Christchurch—whether that's a quick detour through Merivale, a supermarket run in Riccarton, or dropping one passenger in the CBD before continuing to your hotel. The fixed price reflects your entire route, shown in full before you confirm.

What happens if my flight is delayed or early?

The chauffeur monitors your inbound flight automatically, so early arrivals and delays are covered at no extra charge. There's no need to call or update us—your driver will be there when you land, not when the schedule said you would.

Which vehicle should I choose for airport pickup?

The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large suitcases and two carry-ons. For families or groups up to four, the V-Class offers four full-size bags plus cabin luggage. Larger groups—up to ten—fit comfortably in the Sprinter, and the vehicle you book is always the one that arrives.

How do I get a price for my Christchurch Airport transfer?

Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup point and destination, and you'll see the full fixed price—GST included, no surge, no meter. That number is final, whether you're heading to Fendalton, Sumner, or anywhere else the route takes you.


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.
