Elite Limousines is a Tauranga-based luxury chauffeur company whose service area extends across the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Central North Island, including Rotorua and Taupō. The company was founded in 2008 by Managing Director Ross Mead, who has more than 25 years' experience in hospitality, including "silver service" chauffeur work at The Hyatt, and set out to build a boutique, high-end limousine operation.
The fleet includes a Chrysler Hemi 300C, a BMW 750Li and Mercedes vehicles, alongside the company's well-known black London Taxi Cab, used mainly for weddings and special occasions. Services cover limousine sedan hire, wedding cars, executive and corporate transfers, and a 24-hour airport transfer service between Tauranga, Rotorua, Hamilton and Auckland airports. An on-demand hourly chauffeur service is also available for clients who need flexible transport without booking each leg of a trip in advance, and the company offers worldwide transportation bookings through its wider network for clients travelling on from New Zealand.
Elite Limousines also runs a set of bespoke half- and full-day tours in the wider Bay of Plenty and Waikato area, including a Great Lake Taupō day tour, along with tours to Hobbiton, the Waitomo Caves, Rotorua's Thermal Wonderland, Hells Gate and the Zeelong Tea Estate.
For MICE organisers, this makes Elite Limousines relevant for executive and VIP transfers to and from conferences in Tauranga, Rotorua or the Waikato, discreet point-to-point travel for corporate hosting and private meetings, and incentive day tours — including its Taupō itinerary — built around a chauffeured car rather than a coach.
Elite Limousines accepts major credit cards and can be booked directly through its website or by phone.
