Wellington Airport to the CBD in a Mercedes Sprinter — what’s the fixed price
The fare from Wellington Airport to the CBD in a Mercedes Sprinter is a fixed, GST-inclusive rate with no surge pricing or meter — you’ll see the full cost before you confirm your booking. Our Sprinter seats up to sixteen passengers with room for sixteen bags, making it the right choice for larger groups heading into the city. The price you see at chauffeur.co.nz/book is what you pay.
How many people and bags does the Sprinter actually hold?
The Mercedes Sprinter — our mini-coach option — accommodates up to sixteen passengers and sixteen bags. It’s the largest vehicle we operate, designed for groups that won’t fit comfortably in the seven-seat V-Class or three-seat E-Class sedan.
How long does the drive from Wellington Airport to the CBD take?
The journey typically takes fifteen to twenty-five minutes depending on your drop-off point and traffic. Routes into Te Aro or the waterfront via the Mount Victoria Tunnel are usually quicker than heading to the northern end of Lambton Quay or Thorndon during peak times.
Can I book the Sprinter for a drop-off in Kelburn or Brooklyn instead of the CBD?
Yes. You can enter any Wellington address when you book online, and the system will calculate the fixed rate for that specific route. Destinations outside the immediate CBD — Kelburn, Newtown, Brooklyn, or Oriental Bay — are all available.
Is the driver employed by chauffeur.co.nz or a contractor through an app?
Every chauffeur is directly employed by us, trained in-house, and accountable to our standards. We don’t use app-based contractors who can decline your booking or cancel at the last minute. The vehicle you reserve is the one that arrives.
Where exactly do I find the Sprinter price for my Wellington Airport transfer?
Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter Wellington Airport as your pickup and your CBD address as the destination, then select the Sprinter from the vehicle options. The full GST-inclusive price will display before you confirm — no surprises, no surge fees.
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.
