Booking a private driver for the day in Christchurch means having a professional chauffeur and premium vehicle at your disposal for an entire day, moving at your pace. Chauffeur.co.nz has provided this service since 2002, with employed drivers who answer to us—not app contractors—and a fixed, GST-inclusive price shown in full before you confirm.

What vehicles are available for a full day in Christchurch?

You can book a Mercedes E-Class Sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, a V-Class SUV for up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons, or a Sprinter Mini-Coach for up to ten passengers with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.

How does pricing work for a day hire?

The price is fixed and includes GST, with no surge fees or running meter. You'll see the exact cost before you book—head to the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book to get the number for your specific day and vehicle.

Can I change the itinerary during the day?

Yes, within reason. Because you've booked the vehicle and driver for the full day, you can adjust stops and timing as you go—your chauffeur works to your schedule, whether that's wineries in Waipara, a run out to Akaroa, or appointments across Christchurch's suburbs.

Who will be driving?

A chauffeur employed and trained by us. They're accountable to chauffeur.co.nz, not independent contractors who can decline or cancel, so you get consistency and a direct line of responsibility throughout your day.

Does a day hire include airport pickup or drop-off?

It can. If your day starts or ends at Christchurch Airport, that's easily built into the booking—just specify your flight details and any other stops when you arrange the day.


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.
