A professional driver at your disposal in Wellington means the vehicle and the chauffeur are yours for the day, on your schedule. You set the itinerary—whether that's back-to-back appointments across the city, a run out to the Wairarapa, or simply having reliable transport on standby. The rate is fixed and GST-inclusive, the vehicle you book is the one that arrives, and the driver is employed and trained by us.
What vehicles are available for a full day with driver in Wellington?
You can book a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, a V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases, or a Sprinter mini-coach for up to ten passengers. Each vehicle is quoted at a single day rate with no meter running.
How does pricing work when I hire a driver for the day?
The price is fixed for the day and includes GST—no surge, no hourly meter. You'll see the full amount before you confirm the booking at chauffeur.co.nz/book, and that number doesn't change regardless of traffic or route adjustments during your day.
Can I change the itinerary once the day has started?
Yes. Because you've booked the vehicle and driver for the day, you direct where and when you go. If plans shift—an extra stop in Kelburn, a detour to Wellington Airport, a longer lunch in Martinborough—the driver adapts. The day is yours.
Who will be driving?
A chauffeur employed directly by us, trained to our standard and accountable to the company. They're not app contractors who can decline a job or juggle multiple platforms—they're our staff, and they'll be with you for the duration you've booked.
Is this service available outside Wellington city?
Absolutely. A day booking covers wherever you need to go within reason—Kapiti Coast, the Hutt Valley, or wine country over the Remutaka Hill. The fixed day rate applies whether you stay in the CBD or range further afield.
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.
