When you need a professional driver for executive travel in Wellington, chauffeur.co.nz provides employed chauffeurs who are trained, accountable, and committed to the job—not app contractors who can decline at the last minute. Operating since 2002, the service offers a small fleet of Mercedes vehicles with fixed, no-surge pricing shown in full before you confirm.

What makes this different from using a rideshare app for business travel?

The chauffeur who accepts your booking is directly employed and trained by chauffeur.co.nz, not an independent contractor working through an app. That means they're accountable to the company, they won't cancel because a better fare appeared, and the vehicle you reserve—whether the E-Class Sedan, V-Class, or Sprinter—is guaranteed to arrive.

Which vehicle should I book for an executive and two guests travelling from Wellington Airport?

The Mercedes V-Class handles up to four passengers with four full suitcases plus four carry-ons, making it the right choice for three or four people with luggage. For a single executive or pair travelling light, the E-Class Sedan accommodates two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons.

How does the fixed pricing work for corporate travel in Wellington?

Every trip shows a single GST-inclusive price before you book—no meter running, no surge multiplier, no surprises. The rate stays the same whether you're travelling at peak hour from Thorndon to the airport or off-peak from Petone to the city. Visit the booking page to see the exact figure for your specific route.

Can I book this service for visiting clients or board members?

Yes. You can arrange transport for guests travelling under their own name; the service suits executives hosting interstate or international visitors who expect professional ground transport. The chauffeur will meet them with a name board at Wellington Airport or any address in the city.

Is this service available for same-day bookings in Wellington?

Subject to vehicle availability, same-day bookings are accepted. Because chauffeur.co.nz operates a dedicated fleet rather than a rideshare network, it's worth booking ahead when you know your schedule—especially for early morning airport runs or during busy periods.


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.
