Touch down at Wellington Airport and a Mercedes chauffeur service stands ready at the kerb — no shared shuttles, no uncertainty about who'll turn up. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated a straightforward private transfer model: you book a specific vehicle, that vehicle arrives, and an employed driver takes you door-to-door at a fixed, all-inclusive rate.
Where exactly does the chauffeur meet me at Wellington Airport?
Your driver meets you kerbside at the terminal — either at domestic arrivals if you've flown in from Auckland, Christchurch or Queenstown, or international arrivals for overseas flights. You'll receive joining instructions with the driver's contact details once your booking is confirmed.
What vehicles can I book for a Wellington Airport pickup?
Three options: the Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases; or the Sprinter mini-coach when you're travelling with up to ten people. The vehicle you reserve is the one that collects you.
How does fixed pricing work for Wellington transfers?
You see the full GST-inclusive price before you confirm — no meter running, no surge multipliers, no surprises if your flight lands late. The quote tool at /book calculates the exact cost based on your pickup and destination, whether that's the city centre, Lower Hutt, or out to the Wairarapa.
Are the drivers actual employees or app contractors?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house and accountable to the company. They can't decline your job or cancel last-minute the way ride-share drivers sometimes do — it's their rostered shift, and you're their assignment.
Can I book a chauffeur for the return trip to the airport as well?
Absolutely. Many passengers book the round trip at once — arrival transfer into Wellington and departure pickup from their hotel, Airbnb in Mount Victoria, or business address in the CBD. Both legs lock in at the same fixed-rate structure.
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.
