Electric Executive is Hawke's Bay's electric-first chauffeured transport operator for 5-star concierge desks, destination management companies and inbound operators. We publish our retail fares, confirm capacity in writing, and send accredited partners a nett rate card on request.

Attending the Great Wine Capitals International Conference, 18 to 22 October 2026? Our conference delegate page covers airport transfers, the two open evening and daytime events, and wine days before and after the programme.

Concierges, DMCs and inbound operators use us because the answer to "can you take this on" is a plain yes or no, given quickly, and because what we confirm is what arrives.

Two services, and the line between them

We keep this distinction absolute, because it makes every quote unambiguous.

Executive taxis are functional business travel: a pre-booked, fixed-fare journey between Hawke's Bay Airport and a workplace or hotel, in a small electric car, for up to 3 passengers and 2 cases. We run airport journeys only, never on-call or hospitality work. The taxi carries no hosted arrival and will not take a party's full international luggage, so we do not recommend it for your arriving guests.

Private transfers cover every other journey. We allocate a chauffeur and a named vehicle class to your guest for the duration, meet them at the arrival gate, and charge a fixed fare by route or an hourly rate.

If a guest wants the vehicle to wait, to hold luggage, or to run a flexible itinerary, that is a private transfer. A private transfer on arrival also includes a hosted Napier city Art Deco tour, sightseeing on the way, and additional stops to suit the guest.

How we confirm a booking

Every confirmation we send you carries six fields, in this order:

  1. Guest name
  2. Date and time, stated in New Zealand time
  3. Passenger count
  4. Route or itinerary
  5. Driver name
  6. Vehicle

If any of those six change, we tell you before the guest finds out. You should never have to ask us for an update.

Fleet and capacity

Quote capacity without calling us.

The fleet is electric-first. The BYD Atto 3, Tesla Model Y and Mercedes-Benz eVito are fully electric. The Mercedes-Benz V-Class and Sprinter are diesel and carry larger groups and longer distances. We name the allocated vehicle in every confirmation.

Group programme · 40 guests

A winemaker tasting and long lunch at Black Barn.

In September 2026 we planned and ran this day for a 40 guest international incentive group staying at Rosewood Cape Kidnappers. It works as written for incentive, conference and association groups of 20 to 40 guests, and scales down for smaller parties.

Timings, New Zealand time

11:00Depart Rosewood Cape Kidnappers by coach. We message the venue as the group leaves.
11:45Arrive at Black Barn Vineyards, Havelock North. Private tasting of five wines, hosted by a Black Barn winemaker in Fig Alley beneath the fig trees. In wet weather the tasting moves into the Cabana.
12:45 to 13:00The tasting closes and guests move inside to Black Barn Bistro.
13:00Guests seated, bread on the tables.
13:15Entrée served.
14:00Main course served, with shared sides.
14:45Dessert served.
15:05Guests depart.
15:45Return to Rosewood Cape Kidnappers.

How we run a group day

  • One agreed runsheet with the venue, covering timings, the wet weather plan, service style and who settles each account.
  • Dietary requirements collected in advance and briefed to the kitchen by name, including coeliac, allergy, pescatarian and pregnancy requirements, with gluten-free bread set aside.
  • Non-drinkers choose a non-alcoholic drink during the tasting.
  • Accounts kept separate. The tasting, the lunch and the beverage account are settled separately, so the group host settles drinks directly and nothing lands on the property's bill.
  • Transport sized to the group. For 40 guests we use a full-size coach from our coach partner, with the day planned and hosted by us. For up to 11 guests we use our own fleet, and we run up to five vehicles at once.

On a regular Bistro dining day the group shares the dining room with other guests. We quote each group day on request. Send the date, the guest count and the pickup point to info@elecexec.co.nz.

Questions

Questions we hear from trade.

How do I get your trade rates?

Email info@elecexec.co.nz with your property or agency name. We send accredited concierges, DMCs and inbound operators a nett rate card the same working day. We do not publish partner terms on this site.

How much notice do you need?

For a single transfer, same day is usually workable during business hours. For multi-vehicle group movements, cruise port days and lodge turnovers, the earlier the better. December and January reach capacity well in advance, and we would rather tell you in October that a date is tight than in December that it is gone.

What happens if a flight is delayed?

We track the flight. Private transfer arrivals carry a grace period of 30 minutes for domestic flights and 90 minutes for international flights from touchdown. We never charge executive taxi waiting time for a delayed flight. If a delay affects a connecting booking, we call you.

Can you handle a group larger than eleven?

Yes. We run up to five vehicles at once, and our largest single movement to date is a 40 guest tour. For larger movements we work with coach operators. The quote names every vehicle and driver.

Can you run a winery day for a group of 40?

Yes. In September 2026 we ran a 40 guest incentive group from Rosewood Cape Kidnappers to Black Barn Vineyards for a private five-wine tasting hosted by a Black Barn winemaker, followed by a three-course set menu lunch at Black Barn Bistro, departing 11:00 and returning 15:45 New Zealand time. We collect dietary requirements in advance, agree one runsheet with the venue and keep the tasting, lunch and beverage accounts separate. We quote each group day on request.

What public liability insurance do you hold?

$10 million NZD public liability cover.

How do you vet your drivers?

Every driver is Police vetted, passes driver safety testing and holds a comprehensive first aid certificate.

What happens if a vehicle is unavailable on the day?

We always hold a backup vehicle.

How quickly do you answer a trade quote?

We answer trade quotes within 24 hours, Monday to Friday, New Zealand time, and usually sooner.

Is there an after-hours number?

Yes. One duty number, +64 21 025 87832, by call or WhatsApp.

Do you host famils and site inspections?

Yes, we encourage them. Ask and we will arrange a vehicle and host.

Do you carry golf clubs?

Yes. The Sprinter carries two sets internally. Our covered trailers carry up to 4 sets, or up to 12 sets and 6 large cases in the large trailer. Cape Kidnappers golf transfers are a regular run for us.

Are your vehicles accessible?

Our vehicles are spacious, and we train our chauffeurs in adaptive communication and consent-based assistance. The Sprinter has a powered mobility assistance step and doorway grab handles. Please tell us the requirement at the time of booking and we would be delighted to accommodate it.

Is the whole fleet electric?

No, and we will not claim otherwise. The BYD Atto 3, Tesla Model Y and Mercedes-Benz eVito are fully electric. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and V-Class are diesel and carry our larger groups. We are electric-first.

What are your operating hours?

04:00 to 23:00 daily, New Zealand time. We arrange earlier and later movements in advance.
