MICE lists 58 chauffeur and executive car operators nationwide — the layer that moves speakers, sponsors and VIPs on their own schedule.
MICE lists 58 chauffeur and executive car operators across New Zealand. This is the layer of a transport plan that doesn't run to the conference timetable: keynote speakers, sponsors, board members, and anyone whose schedule is set by meetings rather than by the plenary programme.
Legacy EPT Ltd is listed in Auckland with service across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and Rotorua. Chauffeur operates across Auckland and Wellington, and ChauffeurNZ is listed in both Christchurch and Ashburton. Multi-region cover matters when a speaker is doing three cities in three days and you'd rather brief one operator than four.
All are listed under MICE transport.
Chauffeur bookings fail on information, not on vehicles. Three things are worth writing down: who the passenger is (so the driver isn't guessing at the terminal), what the fallback is if a meeting overruns, and who authorises changes on the day — the delegate, or your event office. Without that last one you'll spend the conference fielding calls.
For genuinely senior guests, also ask whether the operator can hold a vehicle on standby rather than booking point-to-point. It costs more per hour and removes an entire category of problem.
Chauffeur services sit on top of your coach and shuttle arrangements, never instead of them. The usual shape is coaches for the delegate body, shuttles for airport arrivals, and a small number of executive cars for the people whose time the programme is built around. Cross-check against your venue locations before you set pick-up times.

Use a chauffeur for people whose movements are set by meetings rather than the conference timetable, such as keynote speakers, sponsors and board members. Shuttles and coaches remain the right tool for the general delegate body.
Name the passenger so the driver can identify them on arrival, set a fallback if a meeting overruns, and state who is authorised to change the booking on the day — the delegate or the event office. Unclear change authority is the most common cause of day-of confusion.
Point-to-point suits predictable movements such as a single airport transfer. Holding a vehicle on standby costs more per hour but removes the risk of a senior guest being stranded when a meeting runs long, which is usually the reason planners choose it.
