Your hosts

Five-star service, from people who live here.

Electric Executive is owner-operated from Havelock North. Founder Duncan Darroch is a trained winemaker, and every host on the team knows the winemakers by name, the road out to Cape Kidnappers, and the story of Te Mata Peak.

We are the preferred transport provider to Rosewood Cape Kidnappers, Craggy Range, Porters Boutique Hotel, Mangapapa Hotel, Black Barn Retreats and Hawthorne House.

Our fleet is electric-first: a fully electric BYD Atto 3, Tesla Model Y and Mercedes-Benz eVito, with a diesel Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Sprinter for larger groups and longer distances.

Kaitiakitanga

Guardianship of the place we share with you.

Kaitiakitanga is the Māori principle of guardianship. It shapes how we run the fleet, what we put in the vehicle, and who we work with. Qualmark verified each of the facts below in November 2025.

  • Charged off-peakWe charge our electric vehicles from 22:00 New Zealand time to lower emissions intensity and ease load on the grid.
  • Sourced within 5 kmWe source in-vehicle amenities within 5 kilometres of our Havelock North base, and serve water in glass.
  • Ātea a RangiWe partner with the Ātea a Rangi Trust, home of the Celestial Compass that opens our Discovery tour.

Questions

Answered plainly.

Do you charge per person?

No. Transfers and hourly hire are priced per vehicle. Hosted tours are the exception and are priced per person.

What is the difference between an executive taxi and a private transfer?

An executive taxi is a fixed-fare airport journey for up to 3 guests and 2 cases, from $90 NZD. A private transfer holds a named vehicle class exclusively for your party, meets you at the arrival gate with a hot towel and refreshments, and costs from $240 NZD per hour with a two hour minimum, or a fixed fare by route. A private transfer also includes a fully hosted arrival experience: a Napier city Art Deco tour, sightseeing on the way, and additional stops to suit your party.

How much does a wine tour in Hawke's Bay cost?

Our hosted tours are priced per person in New Zealand dollars, GST included, and the rate falls as the group grows. The four hour Great Wine Capital Discovery runs from $225 per person for a party of seven to $540 per person for two. The five hour Signature runs from $445 to $795. The Reserve, 10:00 to 16:30 New Zealand time, runs from $730 to $1,210. The eight hour Artisan Producers Full Day runs from $720 to $1,200.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We monitor your flight. Private transfer arrivals carry a grace period of 30 minutes for domestic flights and 90 minutes for international flights from touchdown, after which we bill waiting in 15 minute increments at the hourly rate. On executive taxis, we never charge waiting time for a delayed flight.
