A touring squad with ten players and enough kit to fill ten full-size bags travels in a single Mercedes Sprinter, the Mini-Coach that holds up to ten passengers and ten suitcases plus carry-ons. Since 2002, chauffeur.co.nz has moved teams across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown without splitting the group or leaving gear behind. The vehicle you book is the one that arrives, driven by a chauffeur we employ and train.

What fits in the Sprinter alongside ten team members?

Ten full-size suitcases plus ten carry-on items—enough for boots, training kit, playing strips, and personal bags without leaving anything at the terminal or hotel. The 10+10 configuration means everyone travels together with their gear in one vehicle.

How does fixed pricing work for team transport in New Zealand?

You see the full GST-inclusive price before you book—no meter, no surge, no surprises if the flight lands late or the route changes. Visit the booking page to get the exact figure for your pickup, destination, and date; we never quote dollar amounts here because every trip is priced individually.

Can the driver be changed or decline the job after booking?

No. The chauffeur is employed and trained by us, not an app contractor who can opt out. Once your booking is confirmed, the driver is assigned and accountable to us for the entire journey, whether it's Auckland Airport to a tournament venue or a Queenstown hotel to Christchurch.

Does chauffeur.co.nz operate in all main New Zealand cities?

We serve Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown only. If your squad is travelling between these cities or needs airport transfers within them, the Sprinter covers the group and gear in a single trip.

What happens if the team has more than ten people?

The Sprinter holds up to ten passengers with ten full bags and ten carry-ons. For larger squads, you would need to book a second vehicle or choose a smaller group to travel together; we guarantee the vehicle type you book, so the capacity is fixed and known upfront.


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.
