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.

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