You'll see a single GST-inclusive price before you confirm, with no meter and no surge.
What vehicles can I hire by the hour in Wellington?
You can book a Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers, a V-Class for up to four, or a Sprinter mini-coach for up to ten. Each comes with matching luggage capacity, and the vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives.
How does hourly pricing work with chauffeur.co.nz?
You'll see the complete fixed price—including GST—when you book at /book. There's no meter running, no surge, and no surprises. The rate covers your driver's time, the vehicle, and fuel for use within Wellington.
Are your drivers actual employees or app contractors?
Every chauffeur is employed directly by us, trained to our standard, and accountable to the company. They don't work through an app, they can't decline your job, and they know Wellington's streets and timing intimately.
Can I use an hourly driver for meetings around Wellington?
Absolutely. Whether you're moving between Lambton Quay, the Terrace, and Thorndon, or heading out to Lower Hutt and back, an hourly booking gives you a driver who waits while you work and moves when you're ready.
Does chauffeur.co.nz cover Wellington Airport pickups on an hourly basis?
Yes. You can book hourly service that includes Wellington Airport—ideal if you're collecting visitors, attending to arrivals and departures, or need flexibility around flight times without watching a taxi meter climb.
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.
