A private transfer at your disposal in Wellington means you book the vehicle and chauffeur for the day, set your own schedule, and travel at your own tempo. The Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter remains yours from morning through evening, with a trained driver employed by chauffeur.co.nz waiting while you work, explore or attend to whatever the day requires.
How does a full-day private transfer in Wellington work?
You reserve the vehicle and chauffeur for a set number of hours — typically eight to twelve — and direct the itinerary as you go. The driver stays with the car between stops, so there's no waiting for another ride or coordinating multiple bookings. You're charged a single fixed price shown in full before you confirm.
Which vehicle should I choose for a day at my disposal?
The Mercedes E-Class suits one or two passengers with light luggage; the V-Class comfortably carries up to four with room for bags and shopping; the Sprinter works for groups up to ten. Each vehicle you book is the exact model that arrives, and the choice depends on your party size and how much you'll be carrying between stops.
Can I change the plan during the day?
Yes. Tell the chauffeur your next destination and they'll adjust the route. Whether you finish early at a meeting in Thorndon, add a detour to Weta Workshop in Miramar, or decide to head up to the Botanic Garden instead of the waterfront, the day bends to fit your schedule.
What's included in the fixed day rate?
The rate covers the vehicle, the chauffeur's time, fuel, and all GST — no meter, no surge pricing, no surprise add-ons. The exact figure appears on the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book when you enter your date and hours. The chauffeur waits at each stop as part of the service.
Do I need to book the driver separately?
No. Every chauffeur is employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz, not a contractor who can decline or cancel. When you reserve the vehicle for the day, the same professional driver stays with you from start to finish, accountable to the company that's operated since 2002.
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.
