An hourly private transfer in Christchurch means you book a chauffeur and vehicle for as long as you need — two hours, half a day, or longer — with the same driver staying with you throughout. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive before you confirm, the vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives, and your chauffeur is employed and trained by us, not sourced through an app.
Which vehicle should I choose for an hourly booking in Christchurch?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. For larger groups, the Sprinter accommodates up to ten passengers with ten large bags and ten carry-ons.
Can I change our itinerary during the booking?
Yes. Your chauffeur stays with you for the hours you've booked, so you can adjust plans, add stops, or extend time in Christchurch, Sumner, Lyttelton or anywhere else as the day unfolds. The driver is yours for the duration — no need to rebook or call dispatch.
How does pricing work for as-directed hourly hire?
You see the complete GST-inclusive price when you book online — there's no meter, no surge, and no surprises. The fixed rate covers the hours and vehicle you select. Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book to see the exact figure for your date and requirements.
Is the driver someone chauffeur.co.nz employs directly?
Yes. Every chauffeur is employed and trained by us, accountable to our standards, and assigned to your booking from start to finish. You won't be handed off to an app contractor who can cancel or decline the job.
Does hourly hire work for pickups from Christchurch Airport?
It does. You can start your hourly booking with collection at Christchurch Airport, then continue wherever you need — meetings across the city, a run out to Akaroa, or simply having a driver on hand while you move between appointments.
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.
