The transfer from Queenstown Airport to Kelvin Heights in a Mercedes Sprinter is charged at a single fixed rate, inclusive of GST, with no surge pricing or meter running. You'll see the exact amount before you confirm your booking. The Sprinter seats up to sixteen passengers with space for sixteen bags, making it the right choice for larger groups heading across the lake.
How long does the drive from Queenstown Airport to Kelvin Heights take?
The journey typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic and whether you're dropped at the marina end or further into the peninsula. The route crosses the Frankton Arm and follows the lake edge through Frankton before reaching Kelvin Heights.
Why book a Sprinter instead of a smaller vehicle?
The Mercedes Sprinter is designed for groups of eight to sixteen people, or anyone travelling with substantial luggage or sports equipment. If your party fits comfortably in seven seats or fewer, the V-Class is usually the better match. The vehicle you book is the vehicle that arrives — we don't substitute.
Who actually drives the Sprinter?
You'll be driven by a chauffeur employed and trained directly by chauffeur.co.nz, not an app-based contractor. That means the driver is accountable to us, knows the Queenstown area thoroughly, and won't decline your booking at the last moment.
Where exactly do I find the exact price?
Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter Queenstown Airport as your pickup and Kelvin Heights as your destination, then select the Sprinter. The full GST-inclusive price appears before you commit to anything — no surprises, no hidden fees.
Does chauffeur.co.nz serve other Queenstown destinations?
Yes. We operate throughout Queenstown, including Fernhill, Arrowtown, Frankton, and Remarkables Park, as well as the airport. The service has been running since 2002 and is also available in Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.
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.
