Booking a professional driver for the day in Wellington means you get a chauffeur and vehicle dedicated to your schedule, whether that's a morning of meetings across the CBD, an afternoon exploring the Wairarapa, or a full day moving between appointments. The driver we assign works for us directly, the price is fixed before you confirm, and you choose the Mercedes that suits your group size.
How does day hire actually work with chauffeur.co.nz?
You book the vehicle and hours you need, and a chauffeur stays with you for that period, driving you wherever you want to go within Wellington and the wider region. There's no meter running and no surprise charges—the total cost is shown in full, GST included, before you confirm. The vehicle you select is the one that arrives.
Which vehicle should I choose for a full day?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan works for up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons, ideal for individual or paired travel. The V-Class takes up to four passengers with more luggage, and the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten people. All three are part of the fleet we maintain and deploy across Wellington.
Can the driver take me outside Wellington city during the day?
Yes. Day hire covers travel across the Wellington region, so trips to the Hutt Valley, up the Kāpiti Coast, over the Remutaka Range to the Wairarapa, or down to Palliser Bay are all within scope. The fixed price you see at booking accounts for the time and vehicle, not a per-kilometre rate.
Who will be driving?
A chauffeur employed and trained by us. They're not app contractors who can decline or cancel—they're accountable to chauffeur.co.nz, which has operated since 2002, and they know Wellington's roads, traffic patterns, and how to adapt to your changing schedule throughout the day.
How do I get the price for the hours I need?
Go to the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter your date, pick-up time, and the hours you want, and the system will show you the complete GST-inclusive price for each vehicle before you commit. No surge pricing, no hidden fees—what you see 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.
