A professional driver in Wellington means someone employed and trained to do the job—not an app contractor juggling rides between other gigs. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has provided door-to-door transport across the capital with salaried chauffeurs driving Mercedes sedans and vans, accountable to one company and one standard.
What's the difference between a professional chauffeur and a rideshare driver in Wellington?
A chauffeur is employed directly by the company, trained in-house, and can't decline your booking. Rideshare drivers are app contractors who choose which jobs to accept, often work for multiple platforms, and aren't accountable to a single employer or service standard.
Which vehicles are available for point-to-point trips around Wellington?
The fleet includes the Mercedes E-Class sedan for up to two passengers with two large suitcases and two carry-ons, the V-Class for up to four passengers with four suitcases, and the Sprinter mini-coach for groups of up to ten. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives.
How does pricing work for a professional driver service in Wellington?
You're quoted a fixed, GST-inclusive price before you confirm—no surge multipliers, no meter running in traffic. The full cost is shown upfront at chauffeur.co.nz/book, so there's no guesswork between Thorndon and the airport or Miramar and the city.
Can I book a chauffeur for trips beyond Wellington Airport?
Yes, door-to-door service covers any address in Wellington—whether that's a pickup in Kelburn, a drop at a hotel on the waterfront, or a transfer between the airport and Lower Hutt. The same fixed-price, employed-driver model applies across the region.
Is chauffeur.co.nz available outside Wellington?
The service operates anywhere in New Zealand. Each city uses the same model: employed chauffeurs, Mercedes vehicles, and transparent pricing set before you book.
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.
