A Wellington private transfer means a single vehicle, a fixed price agreed before you leave, and a chauffeur employed to get you there on time. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has run direct point-to-point service across the capital—airport runs to the city, hotel to ferry terminal, or anywhere else you need to be without detours or shared rides.

What makes a private transfer different from a shuttle or taxi in Wellington?

You book a specific vehicle—Mercedes E-Class, V-Class or Sprinter—and that's what arrives, with a chauffeur we've trained. The price is fixed and inclusive of GST before you confirm, so there's no meter running in traffic on the Urban Motorway and no surge when flights stack up at Wellington Airport.

How far in advance should I book a private transfer in Wellington?

Book as soon as your flight or meeting is confirmed. Wellington's weather can reroute or delay services, and a locked-in transfer means your chauffeur is assigned and accountable—no scramble when plans tighten.

Can a private transfer handle luggage for a family arriving at Wellington Airport?

The V-Class carries four passengers plus four checked bags and four carry-ons, enough for most families connecting to the Interislander or heading to a Thorndon hotel. The Sprinter scales to ten passengers and ten bags if you're travelling as a larger group.

Where in Wellington do you operate private transfers?

Anywhere point-to-point: Wellington Airport to the CBD, Petone to the ferry terminal, Lower Hutt to a function in Oriental Bay. We serve Wellington only—Auckland, Christchurch and Queenstown are the other cities in the network.

How do I get the exact price for my Wellington transfer?

Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup and destination, choose your vehicle, and the full GST-inclusive price appears before you confirm. No estimate, no revision later—that number is what you pay.


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.
