Frequently asked

What counts as extra kilometres?

Anything driven beyond the included kilometres (40 km per hour booked). Your driver notes the odometer at the start and end so it's fully transparent.

Can I extend on the day?

Yes, subject to driver availability, at the same hourly rate. Just ask your driver to extend — additional time is paid to them directly.

Where can we go?

Anywhere you like within the included kilometres. Beyond that, $2.00 NZD/km applies and is paid to your driver.
