A private transfer for the day in Wellington means a chauffeur and vehicle dedicated to you from morning until evening, moving at your pace between meetings, cafés, the Wairarapa, or wherever the day takes you. You book the Sedan or SUV, we confirm a fixed price upfront, and the same driver stays with you throughout—no meter, no surprises, no hailing between stops.

How does a full-day chauffeur booking actually work in Wellington?

You reserve the vehicle and driver for a set number of hours—typically eight to twelve—and they remain at your disposal for that window. Between stops, the chauffeur waits with the car, so you're never coordinating pickups or watching the clock. The route, timing and destinations are yours to adjust as the day unfolds.

Which vehicle should I choose for a day of travel around Wellington?

The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two large bags, ideal for a business itinerary or a couple exploring the region. The V-Class holds four passengers and four suitcases, better when you're a small group or carrying more. Both are specified on the /cars page, and the vehicle you book is the one that arrives.

Can the itinerary include destinations outside Wellington city?

Yes. A day booking works well for the Wairarapa wine region, the Kāpiti Coast, or a loop through the Remutaka hills. The chauffeur stays with you at each stop—whether that's Martinborough, Paekakariki or a hillside lookout—so there's no need to arrange separate legs or worry about parking.

What's included in the fixed price for a full day?

The price covers the vehicle, the chauffeur's time for the agreed hours, GST, and fuel for travel within the Wellington region. It's confirmed in full before you book—no surge pricing, no meter running, no hidden line items. Visit /book to see the exact figure for your date and vehicle choice.

Who will be driving, and are they accountable if something changes?

You'll have a chauffeur employed directly by us—trained in-house and accountable to our team, not an app contractor who can decline or cancel. We've operated since 2002, and every driver represents the same standard whether you're starting at Wellington Airport, the CBD, or your hotel in Oriental Bay.


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.
