A private driver for your Christchurch journey means a Mercedes you've chosen, a chauffeur we've trained, and a price agreed before you confirm — no meter, no surge, no surprises. Whether you're connecting between the airport and the city, travelling from Fendalton to Sumner, or moving between meetings across town, the vehicle you book is the one that collects you. We've operated this way since 2002.
What vehicles are available for private transfers 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 for up to four passengers with four suitcases, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten with matching luggage capacity. Each vehicle is confirmed at booking, and that's what arrives.
How does fixed pricing work for point-to-point transfers?
You see the full GST-inclusive price before you confirm — no meter running, no surge multiplier, no hidden fees. The figure shown at chauffeur.co.nz/book is what you pay, whether you're travelling from Riccarton to the airport or between any two addresses in Christchurch.
Who drives for private transfers in Christchurch?
Every driver is a chauffeur we employ directly, trained to our standard and accountable to us. They're not app contractors who can decline a job or choose another fare — when you book, we assign the driver and the vehicle you've selected.
Can I book a private driver for travel between Christchurch suburbs?
Yes — point-to-point transfers cover any route within Christchurch, whether that's Merivale to the CBD, Rolleston to New Brighton, or Lyttelton Harbour to Christchurch Airport. The same fixed-price, confirmed-vehicle approach applies to every journey.
How far in advance should I book a private transfer?
You can reserve as soon as your plans are settled or book the same day if a vehicle is available. Because we operate our own fleet and employ our chauffeurs, availability is clearest when you check chauffeur.co.nz/book for your specific date and route.
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.
