Private Drivers, Corporate, VIP, Luxury Tours and Transfers

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.”

Nau Mai, Haere Mai.

Kia Ora, my name is Tania Jeffs-Maindonald, owner/operator of YourNZDriver. It would be my pleasure to look after you, in whatever capacity you require - from VIPs, Celebrities, private airport and hotel transfers, private tours, government and delegate driving, corporate bookings, luxury wedding cars, cruiseship shore excursions and more.

We are a group of professional, experienced, passionate local private drivers / chauffeurs and guides.

I was born in the beautiful, humble Pacific Island of Tonga, but have Maori and English descent. I am the eldest daughter of a famous polynesian musician and in the middle of three generations of confident, well-spoken family members.
