QF MMB allows me to select chauffeur drive coming off DXB-LHR. It's a CX issued DONE3 ticket.
Not that I have any need of the service. I'll only be in London for ~6 hours before a BA flight to PVG (which is also on the same ticket, so I don't know why it's even offered since it should know it is a connection and isn't on a 081 ticket).

I have the following itinerary booked in F/J. I booked the service on the Manage My Booking site.
LHR-x/SYD-HBA - chauffeur drive offered to airport in LHR and upon arrival in HBA
HBA-x/SYD-AKL - service not offered on the web booking form in HBA or upon arrival in AKL
AKL-SYD-DXB - staying in SYD more than 24 hours - service offered to airport in AKL, upon arrival in SYD and to airport in SYD
Just curious why it wasn't offered to airport in HBA and upon arrival in AKL?
Is that because that is considered a trans-Tasman segment unrelated to the international segments?

I have a triangular itinerary booked next month MEL-SIN-DXB-MEL (using all QF flight numbers, although SIN-DXB is on EK metal).
Chauffeur service is offered to the airport in SIN / from the airport in DXB / to the airport in DXB (useful as I will be in Abu Dhabi) / from the airport in MEL.
That was all consistent with my expectation.

Does anyone who has used the service know if each passage has to sign up separately for the service or can I bring a passenger in the car? Both myself and my wife are flying together and both are eligible for Chauffeur Drive. I signed up for it under my confirmation number, but no where did it allow me to designate the number of any additional passengers. I assume I can just take my wife since she is traveling with me on the same flight, and that she does not have to separately sign up for Chauffeur Drive, which may cause two cars to show up at my house. But can anyone confirm please? Thanks in advance.

Late arrivals?
The T&C page states the following regarding pickup times...
What happens when your flight is delayed? Does QF reschedule for a later time?
18. The Chauffeur Drive pick.up time should be strictly adhered to, without exception. Pick.up time is not negotiable. Drivers will wait for a maximum of 15 minutes from the nominated pickup time after which the driver will advise the passenger that he can wait no longer and is being released to the next assignment.

It's one car per PNR IME. If you have 2 PNRs and want two cars, beware they will not arrive at the same time and you'll arrive at the airport at different times.
Often, they will suggest a van in place of 2 cars.

7. Each passenger aged 12 or over (unless travelling as an unaccompanied minor under Qantas' unaccompanied minor policy) is entitled to receive one car for Chauffeur Drive.

While that can be used as a guide and ISTR Qantas indeed promoted that initially, by the time of the implementation of this they became far more specific.
Those specifics are in section 4 of the Qantas Chauffeur Drive Terms & Conditions.
To summarise, is it available in conjunction with travel on QF1, QF2,
QF7, QF8, QF9, QF10, QF11, QF12, QF15, QF16, QF93, QF94, QF107, QF108 and connecting sectors.
Excluded are travel DXB to or from LHR on QF1/QF2/QF9/QF10 and BNE-SYD on QF8.

I found I was able to book Chauffeur Drive for SYD-AKL-SYD which isn't advertised.
