PrimeTravel Chauffeurs is an executive ground transport company based in Christchurch, operating from Holt Place in Burnside, close to Christchurch Airport. The business was established in 2017 and provides chauffeured transfers and touring across the city and wider Canterbury region.
### Fleet and vehicles
The fleet is built around premium Mercedes-Benz vehicles, with Range Rovers also in service, covering sedans, SUVs, minivans and mini coaches for one to 19 passengers. The larger vehicles are a Mercedes Sprinter minibus seating 11 passengers plus driver, and a Mercedes Sprinter mini coach seating 19 passengers plus driver, both with leather interiors and air conditioning. The company describes its Mercedes fleet as the largest of its kind in Christchurch.
That vehicle range is the practical point for planners: the same operator can cover a single executive arrival in a sedan and a 19-seat delegate movement in a mini coach, with matched presentation across the fleet.
### Services
PrimeTravel handles airport and rail transfers, hourly hire and full-day charter. Rail transfers matter in Christchurch given the TranzAlpine and Coastal Pacific services depart from the city. Bookings operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with the office staffed on weekdays.
The operator states it works closely with embassies, VIPs and their protection and security personnel, which indicates experience with the discretion, timing and coordination requirements that come with senior delegations. Its chauffeurs handle corporate individuals through to small groups and families.
PrimeTravel is listed by ChristchurchNZ and on newzealand.com as an executive ground transport provider for the city.
### Suitability for MICE
A good fit for conference and incentive work in Christchurch where presentation and reliability matter: keynote speaker and VIP airport transfers, board and executive movements, hotel-to-venue shuttling for Te Pae and other city venues, and small-group delegate touring. The 19-seat mini coach handles a full breakout group or an incentive party in one vehicle, while the sedan and SUV options cover individual arrivals. For a full conference delegation requiring multiple 50-seat coaches, a dedicated coach operator would be needed, but for the executive and small-group layer of a Christchurch programme PrimeTravel covers the brief. Confirm current fleet availability and pricing directly when planning.
