The fare from Wellington Airport to the central city in a V-Class is fixed and includes GST—no surge pricing, no meter ticking over in traffic. You’ll see the complete price before confirming your booking, and the spacious Mercedes you reserve is the one that collects you. We’ve been running this route since 2002.

Where do I find the exact fixed price for this trip?

Head to chauffeur.co.nz/book, enter Wellington Airport as your pick-up and your CBD destination, then select the V-Class. The full GST-inclusive price appears before you confirm anything.

What size group does the V-Class suit for the airport run?

The Mercedes V-Class handles up to seven passengers and six bags comfortably, making it ideal for families, small groups, or anyone travelling with extra luggage. If you’re three people or fewer with standard bags, the E-Class sedan is often a better fit.

Does the price change if my flight lands late or traffic is heavy?

No. The price you see when you book is what you pay, regardless of delays, detours, or peak-hour congestion along Cobham Drive or through the Mount Victoria tunnel. There’s no meter and no surge.

Who actually drives the V-Class?

A chauffeur employed and trained by us—not a contractor working through an app who can cancel at short notice. They’re accountable to chauffeur.co.nz and know the Wellington routes well.

Can I book this service to places like Thorndon or Oriental Bay, not just the main CBD?

Yes. When you enter your destination at chauffeur.co.nz/book, you can specify any Wellington address—Thorndon, Oriental Bay, Kelburn, or anywhere else in the city. The fixed price adjusts to reflect the actual drop-off point.


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.
