When your itinerary spans several days and starts in Wellington, chauffeur.co.nz assigns one professional driver to stay with you for the entire journey. Since 2002, we've provided Mercedes vehicles and employed chauffeurs—not app contractors—so you work with the same person throughout, someone trained by us and accountable to us.
How does one driver for multiple days actually work from Wellington?
You book the full itinerary in advance, and we assign a single chauffeur who travels with you each day—whether that's Wellington to the Wairarapa, down to Marlborough, or a longer South Island loop. The same vehicle and driver stay with you from start to finish, so there's no handover or coordination between shifts.
What vehicles are available for a multi-day trip?
You'll choose from three Mercedes options when you book: the E-Class sedan (up to 2 passengers, 2 large bags plus 2 carry-ons), the V-Class (up to 4 passengers, 4 large bags plus 4 carry-ons), or the Sprinter mini-coach (up to 10 passengers, 10 large bags plus 10 carry-ons). The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, and it's yours for the duration.
How is pricing structured for several days?
Every multi-day booking carries a single fixed price—GST-inclusive, no meter, no surge—calculated for your full itinerary and shown in full before you confirm. You'll see the exact figure when you build your booking at chauffeur.co.nz/book, covering every leg, overnight positioning, and all driver costs.
Where can a Wellington-based multi-day trip go?
We operate in Wellington, Auckland, Christchurch, and Queenstown, so typical itineraries include Wellington to Picton via the Wairarapa, or Wellington to Christchurch with stops in Kaikōura and Blenheim. Your driver stays with the journey regardless of overnight stops, as long as the route connects our service cities.
Why use an employed chauffeur instead of booking daily rideshare drivers?
An employed chauffeur is trained by us, accountable to us, and can't decline your job mid-itinerary. You're working with one person who knows your luggage, your preferences, and your schedule—no risk of a different contractor each morning or a cancellation when you're two days in.
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.
