A private transfer in Wellington means a dedicated chauffeur driving you door to door in a vehicle you've chosen—whether that's from the airport to Kelburn, or Miramar to the city. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated with employed drivers, not app contractors, and a fixed GST-inclusive price shown before you confirm.
What makes this different from using a rideshare app?
The driver is a chauffeur we employ and train, not a gig-economy contractor who can cancel. The vehicle you book—a Mercedes E-Class, V-Class, or Sprinter—is the one that arrives, and the price is locked in from the start with no surge.
Which Wellington routes do you cover?
Any door-to-door journey within Wellington: the airport to Te Aro, Oriental Bay to the Hutt Valley, or out to Wairarapa wine country. If both your start and finish points are in the Wellington region, we'll quote it.
How do I know the cost before I book?
Visit /book, enter your pickup and drop-off addresses, and you'll see the full GST-inclusive price—no meter, no surprises. That number stays the same regardless of traffic or time of day.
What size vehicle should I choose for Wellington Airport pickup?
The E-Class sedan suits two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. For a family of four with full luggage, the V-Class fits four suitcases and four carry-ons. Groups up to ten travel in the Sprinter.
Do you operate in other New Zealand cities?
Yes—Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown, using the same model: employed chauffeurs, fixed pricing, and the same three Mercedes vehicles across every city.
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.
