Your private transfer is ready at Christchurch Airport the moment you clear arrivals — no shared shuttle, no taxi queue, just a chauffeur holding your name and a vehicle reserved exclusively for your party. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated a Mercedes fleet across New Zealand's four main centres, with every driver employed and trained in-house rather than sourced through an app.
What vehicles are available for private airport 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 and four carry-ons, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten with ten suitcases and ten carry-ons. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
Where exactly does the chauffeur meet me at Christchurch Airport?
Your chauffeur waits kerbside in the arrivals hall, holding a name card. You'll have their mobile number before you land, so if your flight is delayed or you need to adjust the timing, you can reach them directly.
How is the price calculated for a private transfer from Christchurch Airport?
The price is fixed and inclusive of GST before you book — no meter, no surge pricing, no surprises. The exact figure depends on your destination, whether that's central Christchurch, Riccarton, Fendalton, or further afield, and you'll see the full amount at /book before confirming.
Are the drivers actual employees or gig-economy contractors?
Every chauffeur is employed by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house, and accountable to the brand. They don't contract through an app and they can't decline your booking once it's confirmed.
Can I book a private transfer to destinations outside Christchurch city?
Yes, provided you're travelling within the regions chauffeur.co.nz serves: Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown. For point-to-point transfers to Akaroa, the Port Hills, or North Canterbury, the booking system at /book will show availability and the fixed price.
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.
