Queenstown Airport to Frankton in a Mercedes Sprinter — what’s the fixed price

The Sprinter service between Queenstown Airport and Frankton is charged at a single fixed rate that includes GST, with no surcharges regardless of traffic or time of day. You’ll see the complete price on the booking page at chauffeur.co.nz/book before you commit. The Mercedes Sprinter seats up to sixteen passengers and handles sixteen bags, making it the right choice when a sedan or SUV won’t cover the group.

How long does the drive from Queenstown Airport to Frankton actually take?

The journey is short—typically around five to eight minutes depending on which part of Frankton you’re headed to. The airport sits just across State Highway 6 from Frankton, so even with luggage handling you’re looking at a quick transfer.

Why book a Sprinter instead of just taking a couple of smaller vehicles?

One vehicle keeps your group together, simplifies coordination, and often works out more sensible than splitting across two or three cars. The Sprinter’s sixteen-seat, sixteen-bag capacity means everyone travels in the same Mercedes with the same chauffeur, arriving at the same time.

Is the driver actually employed by chauffeur.co.nz or just someone on an app?

Every chauffeur is directly employed by us, trained to our standard, and accountable to the company—not a contractor who can decline your booking or arrive in an unmarked car. We’ve operated this way since 2002 across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown.

Does the fixed price cover things like late-night pickups or if the flight’s delayed?

Yes. The rate shown at booking is the rate you pay, full stop—no meter, no surge pricing, no add-ons for evening arrivals or flight delays. The price includes GST and covers the door-to-door service regardless of when your plane lands.

Can I be sure a Sprinter will actually turn up and not a smaller vehicle?

The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives. If you reserve the Sprinter, that’s what will be waiting at the airport—not a substitution, not a downgrade. It’s a straightforward promise we keep on every job.


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.
