Long Distance Transfers Across Marlborough and the Top of the South

When you need to get somewhere further than a quick town run, you want a driver who shows up, knows the roads, and gets you there on time. That is where Anthony The Driver comes in.

Based in Blenheim and driving a comfortable red Nissan Leaf EV, Anthony the Driver offers long distance transfers all across Marlborough and beyond, from early morning ferry runs to trips to Nelson or full-day trips down to Christchurch.

Whether it is a corporate transfer, a family trip, or a solo journey, you get a private car service with a local driver who treats every ride like it matters.

Blenheim to Picton Ferry Transfers, On Time Every Time

The Blenheim to Picton transfer is one of my most requested runs, and for good reason. Missing an Interislander or Bluebridge sailing is stressful, expensive, and often means a full day lost.

Every Picton ferry transfer is planned around your sailing time, ferry status is monitored before you leave and that's factored into the drive so you arrive with time to spare. Coming back the other way, I meet you at the terminal as the ferry docks, help with your bags, and have you home or at your next stop without the usual wait.

Uber, Didi and Bolt are not consistently available in Blenheim or the wider Marlborough region, and even the traditional Marlborough taxis and Blenheim cabs can be tied up on the busy days you actually need one, so a pre-booked local driver is the reliable option, not a fallback.

Blenheim to Nelson, Christchurch and Havelock

Long distance driving is where a proper car service earns its keep.

I regularly do the Blenheim to Nelson run over the Whangamoas for meetings, flights out of Nelson Airport, and family visits.

The Blenheim to Christchurch driver route is a longer haul down State Highway 1, and having a calm, punctual driver at the wheel of a smooth EV makes a real difference on a four hour trip.

Havelock trips are handled just as carefully, whether you are heading in for a Marlborough Sounds cruise, a lunch at the mussel pot, or a pickup from one of the local lodges. Nelson to Blenheim driver requests are welcome too, one way or return, at a fair fixed rate agreed upfront.

Corporate, Family and Personal Transport in an EV

The red Nissan Leaf is quiet, clean and fully electric, which makes for a genuinely pleasant ride and a lower carbon footprint on every trip. For businesses, that means a professional arrival for clients and staff. For families, it means a safe, child-friendly car with room for luggage and a driver who is not rushing. Well behaved pets are welcome.

SPSL/TSL licensed driver · NZ Police vetted · Small passenger service compliant, Anthony the Driver holds a full P endorsement, and drives the way I would want my own family driven.

No surge pricing, no cancelled bookings, no drivers refusing the trip because it is too far, just a reliable Marlborough long distance driver with a booking site that calculates and shows you a fair upfront price and sticks to it. Track Anthony's live location on Google maps once he starts to drive to your ride pickup point via the link texted to you.
