An hourly professional driver in Christchurch gives you a single chauffeur and vehicle for your entire visit, directed by you, for as long as you need. The chauffeur waits while you meet, shop, or tour, then moves on when you're ready. It's a fixed price shown in full before you book — no meter, no surprises — with the same driver accountable to you throughout.
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Christchurch?
You book a vehicle and chauffeur for a set number of hours, and they remain at your disposal for that period. The driver waits at each stop — whether you're visiting a winery in Waipara, attending meetings in the CBD, or touring the Port Hills — and continues when you're ready. The price is fixed and GST-inclusive, shown before you confirm at chauffeur.co.nz/book.
Which vehicle should I book for hourly use?
The Mercedes E-Class Sedan suits up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The Mercedes V-Class SUV carries up to four passengers with four suitcases and four carry-ons. For larger groups — up to ten passengers with ten suitcases — the Mercedes Sprinter Mini-Coach is available. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives.
Can I change plans during my hourly booking?
Yes — you direct the chauffeur throughout your booking. If you finish a meeting in Riccarton early and want to add a stop in Sumner, or decide to extend your time at Christchurch Airport before heading into the city, simply let the driver know. The chauffeur remains with you for the hours you've booked.
Is the driver employed by chauffeur.co.nz?
Yes. Every chauffeur is employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz, not an app contractor who can decline or cancel. The same driver stays with you for your entire booking, accountable to the company that has operated since 2002 in Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, and Queenstown.
How do I see the price for hourly chauffeur service?
Visit chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your pickup location — whether that's Christchurch Airport, a hotel in Merivale, or your home in Fendalton — select your vehicle, and choose the number of hours you need. The full GST-inclusive price appears before you confirm, with no surge pricing and no meter running.
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.
