What is your COVID-19 policy / requirements?

At Reid Chauffeurs, we are not interested in your personal medical information.

We do not require any form of vaccine certificates or masking for you to travel with us.

By default, our drivers are not required to, nor are currently wearing masks. If you would prefer our driver wears a mask, please let us know in advance. We want to make you feel comfortable during your trip with us.

How does arrival at Auckland Airport work?

Reid Chauffeurs will meet you at the international arrivals gate. When you walk out of this gate, please go to your LEFT and your name will be displayed on our digital name board.

Your driver will then walk you approximately 30 seconds to our vehicle, close and convenient for you.

How can I pay?

Snacks can include anything you request. But normally we have peanuts, mints, chocolates and more.

If you have specific allergies or food requirements, please advise of this in advance.

Can I hire by the hour?

How far can you take me?

We can travel as far as you like, however, any longer trips that require the driver to stay 'overnight' or use additionally facilities outside of his/her vehicle, will be reasonable expenses incurred to the passengers (hotel, dining expenses). Your trip will be planned with us prior to departure, therefore we can notify you of the full cost and any potential additional costs that could be incurred.

Do you have multi-lingual drivers?

Unfortunately, we only speak English. However, if you require a tour guide translator, we can organise one for your trip.

Can I drive the vehicles?

No, this is a chauffeured service only sorry.

We are happy to help organise a suitable day out and package for you. Please note we require pre-payment for all activities organised and cannot guarantee the available of activities booked on the day.

Just contact us for some free ideas and options.

Can you do a tour of Auckland City and/or surrounding areas?

Feel free to tell us what you'd like to see, and we will put together a package for you to show the best of what Auckland has to offer, whether it be touring around the inner-city and visiting the world-famous Sky Tower, or adventuring south to the beautiful shores of Raglan or over to the small country town of Thames for lunch.
