Our Team
Our guides and drivers bring genuine professional depth to every encounter. Sustainability is enacted through expertise and care, not scripts. We value that partnership in how we pay: every host is paid well above the New Zealand Living Wage, and our team has grown steadily over the past year.
Regional Partnerships
We work directly with Hawke's Bay producers and operators to grow regional tourism. For many of our partners, we are their first connection to international visitors.
We direct a substantial share of our tourism revenue back into the regional economy — to local contract hosts and to wineries, producers and suppliers — keeping spend circulating within Hawke's Bay.
Established Partnerships

Accessibility
At Electric Executive, we believe exceptional experiences should be available to every guest, regardless of mobility, age, or group composition. Our fleet has been purposefully configured to accommodate a wide range of visitor profiles, and our drivers are trained to provide attentive, unhurried assistance at every step of your journey.
- Automatic mobility assistance step — power-deployed entry step for easier, safer boarding and alighting
- Ergonomic door handles — mobility assistance grab handles fitted at the doorway for confident, supported entry
- Wide, upright seating — generously proportioned seats with full armrests and lumbar support, designed for comfort across extended wine country itineraries
- Spacious configuration — ample interior width and headroom to accommodate guests using walking aids
- Dual-access doors — side entry doors on both sides allow a support person to assist from either position, enabling full hands-on assistance during boarding and alighting
- Low entry step — a reduced step height minimises effort and physical strain for guests with limited mobility
- Wide, upright seating — a single comfortable row with an upright seating position for ease of movement in and out of the vehicle
- Child safety seats, provided on request — New Zealand safety-rated car seats available at no charge for infants and young children. While not a legal requirement for private hire vehicles in New Zealand, we provide them as a best-practice measure and to promote inclusivity.
- Full boarding and alighting assistance — hands-on support for all guests, including those with limited mobility, ensuring safe, confident entry and exit at every stop
- Luggage handling — complete loading and unloading of luggage, bags, and personal equipment as standard
- Walking aid and mobility transfer support — drivers are experienced in assisting guests who use walkers, canes, or require physical support for transfers, with patience and discretion at all times
- Cruise ship guest experience — we regularly host guests arriving via cruise ship who present a range of mobility and health considerations, adapting the pace and format of each experience to suit individual needs
Accessible tourism is not an afterthought at Electric Executive. It is central to how we operate. Hawke's Bay's world-class wine country should be open to all, and we are committed to ensuring that mobility or health considerations are never a barrier to an extraordinary experience.
We welcome enquiries about specific accessibility requirements prior to your booking. Please contact us directly so we can ensure the right vehicle, configuration, and level of support is arranged for your group.
