A private driver in Wellington means a confirmed vehicle—Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter—and a chauffeur employed and trained by us, not an app contractor who can cancel. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has offered point-to-point transfers across the capital at a fixed, GST-inclusive price shown in full before you confirm, with no surge and no meter.
What vehicles are available for private transfers in Wellington?
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 up to ten passengers. The vehicle you select is the one that arrives.
How does pricing work for private driver transfers?
Every fare is fixed and GST-inclusive, calculated before you book with no surge pricing or meter running. Visit the booking page to see the exact rate for your journey—whether it's Thorndon to the airport, Miramar to the city, or any other Wellington route.
Who will be driving?
Your chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard, and accountable for every journey. You won't be matched with an independent contractor who can decline or cancel the booking.
Can I book a private driver for trips around Wellington's suburbs?
Yes. Point-to-point transfers cover the full Wellington region—Kelburn to Petone, the Hutt Valley to Wellington Airport, or anywhere else you need to go. Enter your pick-up and drop-off when you book to see availability and the fixed price.
What happens if my plans change?
Because you're booking a confirmed vehicle with an employed driver rather than requesting a ride through an app, your transfer is locked in. For cancellation terms or to adjust timing, contact us directly after booking.
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.
