A professional driver in Christchurch means a trained chauffeur employed by the service, not an app contractor who might decline your booking. Chauffeur.co.nz has operated this way since 2002: you book a Mercedes directly, the price is fixed and shown upfront, and the same vehicle you reserve is the one that collects you—whether that's from Christchurch Airport, Fendalton, or anywhere else in the city.

What makes a chauffeur different from a rideshare driver?

The chauffeur is employed and trained by us, accountable to the company rather than working through an app. That means no declined trips, no guessing who will turn up, and a consistent standard every time you book.

What vehicles are available for point-to-point travel in Christchurch?

Three options: a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two large cases and two carry-ons, a V-Class for up to four passengers with four cases, or a Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten. The vehicle you book is guaranteed to arrive.

How does pricing work compared to metered taxis or surge-based apps?

You see the full GST-inclusive price before you confirm—no meter running, no surge multiplier, no surprises. Head to the booking page to get the exact figure for your trip; we never quote estimates over the phone.

Can I book a professional driver for trips outside Christchurch Airport?

Yes. Door-to-door service covers any address in Christchurch—Merivale to Sumner, Riccarton to New Brighton, or out to Lyttelton. The same fixed-price, no-surge model applies whether you're starting at the airport or anywhere else in the city.

Which cities does chauffeur.co.nz serve?

Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown only. The same employment model, Mercedes fleet, and transparent pricing apply across all four.


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.
