A professional driver at Christchurch Airport means you're met airside or kerbside, luggage handled, and on your way the moment you're ready — no waiting for dispatch, no shared ride delays. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has employed drivers trained to work to your schedule, whether that's a tight connection into the city or a buffer for customs. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.

How does meet and greet work at Christchurch Airport?

Your chauffeur monitors your flight in real time and meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, or waits kerbside if you prefer. They handle luggage and lead you directly to the vehicle — no app check-ins, no hunting through a carpark.

What if my flight into Christchurch is delayed or early?

Flight tracking is built in. Your driver adjusts to the actual arrival time automatically, so you're met whether you land an hour late or twenty minutes early. There's no need to call ahead.

Which vehicle should I book for an airport transfer?

The Mercedes E-Class sedan suits two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons; the V-Class takes up to four passengers with four suitcases; the Sprinter handles groups of ten. You'll see the exact fixed price for each before you confirm.

Can I add a stop between Christchurch Airport and my destination?

Yes. When you book at /book, you can specify a stop — whether that's a supermarket in Riccarton, an office in the CBD, or an address in Fendalton. The system quotes the full route with the stop included.

Is the driver an employee or an app contractor?

Every chauffeur is directly employed and trained by us, not a gig-economy driver who can cancel. That accountability matters when you've got a connecting flight or a meeting waiting.


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.
