A private driver at Wellington Airport means a chauffeur tracking your flight, meeting you inside the terminal with your name, and working entirely to your timetable. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has placed employed, trained drivers — not app contractors — at Wellington's arrivals hall, with vehicles confirmed before you land and pricing locked in before you book.

Where exactly does the driver meet me at Wellington Airport?

Your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal at arrivals, holding a name board. They track your flight in real time, so whether you're early, delayed, or stuck at baggage claim in the domestic or international hall, they adjust without charging wait fees.

What vehicles are available for Wellington Airport pickups?

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. The vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives.

How does fixed pricing work for a private airport transfer?

The price you see when booking on /book is the final amount — GST-inclusive, with no surge pricing, no meter, and no surprises. Flight delays don't change the cost, and the quote covers your specific route before you commit.

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

Yes. Whether it's a supermarket in Kilbirnie, an office drop in the CBD, or a detour through Miramar, you set the itinerary when you book and the route is priced accordingly upfront.

Who's actually driving — an employee or a contractor?

Every chauffeur is employed and trained directly by chauffeur.co.nz, not sourced through a rideshare app. That means accountability, consistency, and someone who won't decline your job at the last minute because a better fare appeared.


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.
