A professional driver in Wellington means an employed chauffeur who turns up in the exact vehicle you reserved, at the time agreed, with your route already priced in full. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has operated without meters, surge windows or app roulette — just a GST-inclusive figure locked in before you confirm, and a driver trained and accountable to one company.
What makes a professional driver different from a rideshare in Wellington?
The chauffeur is employed directly by chauffeur.co.nz, trained in-house and accountable to the same company every trip. There's no decline button, no star-rating gamble, and the vehicle you book — whether a Mercedes E-Class sedan, V-Class or Sprinter — is the one that arrives.
How does fixed pricing work for Wellington transfers?
You see the full GST-inclusive price before you book — no meter running, no surge multiplier, no surprises at the end of the trip. The quote on /book is the amount you pay, whether you're heading from Thorndon to Wellington Airport or Petone to the city.
Which vehicles are available for point-to-point trips in Wellington?
The Mercedes E-Class sedan handles up to two passengers with two suitcases and two carry-ons. The V-Class takes four passengers and four full cases plus carry-ons, while the Sprinter mini-coach accommodates up to ten passengers with matching luggage.
Can I book a professional driver for an airport pickup at Wellington Airport?
Yes — airport transfers to or from Wellington Airport are quoted the same way as any point-to-point trip, with the price confirmed in advance and your chauffeur waiting as agreed. The vehicle type you select is the one that meets you.
Does chauffeur.co.nz operate in other New Zealand cities?
The service runs in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown only, with the same employed-driver model and fixed pricing across all four centres.
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.
