Private Chauffeur Tours from Auckland & Across NZ
A private tour is New Zealand at your own pace, with a chauffeur handling the driving, the route and the parking. Nothing runs to a coach timetable, and there are no other passengers to collect on the way.
NZ Limo & Tours runs tailored itineraries from Auckland — full-day trips and multi-day journeys the length of the country, with the chauffeur travelling with you throughout.
What's included
Every private tour is built around an itinerary you choose, with a local chauffeur-guide driving it.
- Tailored sightseeing itineraries
- Auckland, Rotorua, Mount Cook, Wanaka, Queenstown and Glenorchy
- Local, knowledgeable chauffeur-guides
- Full-day and multi-day options
- Door-to-door from your accommodation
- The car stays with you rather than dropping you and leaving
Where private tours go
Day trips run south from Auckland into the Bay of Plenty and the Central Plateau; multi-day journeys reach Otago and Canterbury.
North Island day trips cover Auckland city and its harbour, Rotorua’s geothermal parks and living Māori culture, and Lake Taupō with Huka Falls.
South Island journeys take in Wanaka’s mirror lakes, the Whakatipu basin around Queenstown and Glenorchy, and Aoraki / Mount Cook with the clearest night skies in the country. These run as multi-day itineraries rather than day trips.
See the dedicated tour pages for the itineraries we run most often, or the destinations page for the full range.
Which car suits a touring day
Touring favours boot space and ride comfort, so the Lexus RX350 Sport and Mercedes-Benz V-Class are the usual picks.
| Vehicle | Class | Seats | Luggage |
|---|---|---|---|
 BMW 7 Series | Executive Sedan | Up to 3 | 3 large |
 Lexus RX350 Sport | Luxury SUV | Up to 4 | 4 large |
 Mercedes V-Class | Group Limousine | Up to 7 | 7 large |
 BMW iX50 | Electric Executive | Up to 4 | 4 large |
Full specifications on the fleet page.
A full day on the road makes cabin comfort matter more than it does on a city transfer. Families generally take the Lexus RX350 Sport. Groups of five or more should take the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, whose conference-style seating lets everyone travel together and talk.
How booking works
Three steps: send us the details, we return a fixed quote, and the chauffeur arrives ahead of time on the day.
Send the date, the pickup and destination, your passenger numbers and luggage, and which places you want to see and how long you have.
We come back with a fixed quote and confirm the vehicle. That quote is the price you pay — it does not move because traffic was bad or the day ran long.
On the day the chauffeur arrives ahead of the booked time. Arriving early costs nothing; arriving late costs you the schedule, so we treat early as standard.
Areas we cover
We are based in Mount Roskill and cover all of Auckland, travelling nationwide for longer journeys.
Auckland coverage includes the CBD and waterfront, the North Shore, East and South Auckland, West Auckland and the coastal beaches, Auckland Airport and the wider region.
Beyond Auckland we travel the length of New Zealand — Rotorua, Lake Taupō, Wanaka, Queenstown and Aoraki / Mount Cook — as day trips or multi-day journeys with the chauffeur travelling with you throughout.
Questions people ask
Can we choose our own itinerary?
Yes — that is the point of a private tour. Tell us what you want to see and we build the day around it, including how long you spend at each stop. Because the car and chauffeur are held for your booking, staying longer somewhere simply means something else moves.
Do you run multi-day tours?
Yes. Multi-day journeys are among our most requested bookings, including South Island touring where the chauffeur travels with you throughout rather than handing over between legs.
Do you collect us from our accommodation?
Yes. Tours run door to door from wherever you are staying and return you there. If you are changing accommodation on the same day, tell us and the vehicle can carry your luggage so you are not backtracking.
How many passengers and bags can you carry?
The BMW 7 Series seats up to 3 passengers with 3 large bags, the Lexus RX350 Sport and the all-electric BMW iX50 each seat up to 4 with 4 large bags, and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class seats up to 7 with 7 large bags. Tell us your group size and luggage and we will match the vehicle.
How much does it cost?
Every booking is quoted individually rather than metered, because the price depends on the route, the vehicle, how long you need it and the time of day. Send us those details and you get a fixed quote back — no surge pricing and no hidden extras. Use code NZLIMO15 for a discount on your first booking.
Can you advise what fits in a day?
Yes, and we would rather adjust the plan in advance than have you watching the clock. Tell us your priorities and the time you have, and we will tell you honestly what is comfortable and what is a stretch.
