About Me

Not a Company. Just Me.

Photo coming soon

Originally from Xi'an, China, I've called Auckland home for the past 24 years. I know this city inside out — not just the tourist routes, but the shortcuts, the good local spots, and how to get you where you're going without the stress of somewhere unfamiliar.

Every booking with Warm Voyage is driven by me personally — not a contracted driver, not whoever's free that day. One car, one driver, no exceptions.

FAQ

Common Questions

Straight answers on prices, areas and how it works.

How much is an airport transfer from Auckland Airport to the city (CBD)?

A private transfer from Auckland Airport to the city centre (CBD) is a flat NZ$120 for central, east or south Auckland — no meter and no surge pricing. The drive takes about 30 minutes. You ride in a private Mercedes-Benz GLS with an English- and Mandarin-speaking driver, and the fare is the same in both directions.

Is there a Chinese-speaking (Mandarin) private driver in Auckland?

Yes. Warm Voyage is Ray Deng, a private driver in Auckland who speaks fluent Mandarin and English and has lived in Auckland for 24 years. He personally handles every airport transfer and full-day charter himself — one driver, one car, no dispatch and no substitute driver. Contact him on WhatsApp +64 27 752 0888, WeChat, or bigbigraydeng@gmail.com.

How much does it cost to charter a car and driver for a full day in Auckland?

A full-day private charter in Auckland is NZ$1,200 for up to 10 hours, with extra time at NZ$100 per hour. That covers the car (a Mercedes-Benz GLS for up to 5 passengers) and Ray driving personally all day. Tolls, tickets, ferry, meals and accommodation are separate.

Do you do airport pickups to North Shore or West Auckland, and how much?

Yes. Airport transfers to the North Shore (up to Albany) and West Auckland (up to Hobsonville) are a flat NZ$140. Central, east and south Auckland are NZ$120. Anywhere beyond these areas is quoted separately, and the price is the same for pickup and drop-off.

How far is Auckland Airport from the city, and how long does the drive take?

Auckland Airport is about a 30-minute drive from the city centre (CBD) in normal traffic. Ray tracks your flight and adjusts the pickup time, so if your flight is early or delayed he is still there waiting — with a name board at arrivals.

Can you do a Hobbiton, Waiheke Island or Rotorua day trip from Auckland?

Yes. Warm Voyage runs full-day private day trips from Auckland to Hobbiton (the Lord of the Rings movie set), Waiheke Island, Rotorua, the Bay of Islands, Piha Beach and Sky Tower. A charter day is NZ$1,200 for up to 10 hours in a Mercedes-Benz GLS, and the itinerary is tailored to you — tell Ray your interests and he will plan the route.

How many passengers and how much luggage can you take?

The car is a Mercedes-Benz GLS that seats up to 5 passengers plus their luggage, so a whole family and all their suitcases travel together in one car with no splitting up. A free child seat is available on request, and there is bottled water and phone charging on board.

Can you help with school visits or university campus tours in Auckland?

Yes. Ray regularly drives families and delegations to University of Auckland and AUT campus tours, international-office meetings, and visits to selected primary and secondary schools, with smooth transport between every appointment. This runs as a full-day charter (NZ$1,200 for up to 10 hours) with a bilingual driver.

Do you offer factory or industry tours for business visitors?

Yes. Ray drives buyers and business delegations to site visits at New Zealand producers — including health-supplement, beef and lamb, and honey and manuka factories. It is booked as a full-day charter (NZ$1,200 for up to 10 hours) with an English- and Mandarin-speaking driver who knows Auckland.

Can you drive me to house viewings and open homes in Auckland?

Yes. Ray offers chauffeured house-hunting across Auckland, getting you between viewings and open homes on time all day so you can focus on the properties. It is a full-day charter at NZ$1,200 for up to 10 hours in a Mercedes-Benz GLS.

How do I book a Warm Voyage transfer or charter?

Send your trip details through the booking form on this site, or message Ray directly on WhatsApp +64 27 752 0888, WeChat, or bigbigraydeng@gmail.com. He replies personally to confirm the price and pickup, usually within a few hours. Airport transfers start at NZ$120 and full-day charters are NZ$1,200 for up to 10 hours.
